We all know them. Those emails that go out to an entire distribution list. 9 times out of 10 it’s not directed to you so you read the first sentence or two and then just delete it and move on. I got one the other day though that I read top to bottom and simply had to share. This was sent to all the employees that work on my floor by one of my co-workers who I’d consider a “cool” guy. Mad props to this guy for having the balls to hit send:
Subject: A message to my concerned colleagues
All,
I’d just like to let everyone know that yes, I am OK. I have gotten several comments today asking about my appearance, and I’d like to put those rumors to rest:
- No, I am not wearing a wig.
- I did not get kicked out of my house.
- Unfortunately, I did not party hard last night.
- No, I am not going through emotional trauma.
I simply misplaced my bag with my now famous hair product inside it.
Due to the number of questions and comments I have received today, I feel as though my hair brings a small amount of joy to each of your lives. during the workday So, in light of this revelation, I will not let you, my esteemed colleagues, down again. Whether that means showing up late for a meeting, or miss a presentation, I will ensure that my hair is in top form each and every day. I do apologize today for any inconvenience or distraction that this situation has provided.
Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns today may have caused.
Best
Dude was “cool” before. Dude is epic now. I’ve got some great friends and colleagues.
