Oglet: My boss sends out emails about once a week, asking who is available for the weekend.
Me: To do stagehand work?
Oglet: Yeah, and other stuff. Helping with sets and sound and etc.
Me: And does he get volunteers?
Oglet: Mostly excuses. Problem is the idiots always hit “Reply all”
Me: So everyone gets to hear everyone’s excuses?
Oglet: Yes. And we really don’t need to know. We don’t want to know that you can’t come because you need to see your doctor because of something you caught at the Christmas party, or you need to get a salve for some rash you got, or you hate to leave your apartment because you suspect your roomate is sexually abusing your dog in your absence.
Me: So they don’t understand whey they hit “Reply all” they’re sending this info to everyone?
Oglet. Nope. And it isn’t as if they’re geezers. These are teensgers who grew up with computers all around. That’s the sort of thing I would expect from Gramma, not kids I go to school with”
