GRRRR!!!
I know I haven't posted anything in a very long time, so I must apologize in advance that my first post in forever has to be of the rant variety. I'm going to be home for at least the next week or so, so I promise a better update later. Things have been totally crazy, but completely amazing and incredibly fun so I'll have lots of good things to report soon.
Yeah, so back to the rant.
Let's just say that my email address at Microsoft is pretty cool, I'm happy with it and everyone comments on it when I share it with them. I typically respond with "Yeah, it's cool, but let me tell you about the spam..." It seems that when people sign up for websites and don't want to get spam, they use MY email address. When I put a fake address, I always use me@me.com. I figure if someone has the address me@me.com, they get what they deserve, but I have no control over my email address here. Today's spam took the cake, view the following (some information removed out of respect for the internet challenged):
Just to be clear, I'm not Pamela Griffis :P
