awkward
I had an uncomfortable email exchange last night with a recent client who wanted an email address removed from the 'guest list' on her album of Flickr photos. Confused, I explained to her that her private album could only be viewed by allowed email addresses, and I'd only shared it with her. Apparently she was able to share it with someone else, and she didn't want that person having access anymore and asked me to "block it."
Not really sure how to handle it at first, I had her email me the address and said I'd look into it. I noticed it was a college email address, and I remembered her husband being a professor at that college. Due to my obnoxious curiosity, I Googled the email address, and sure enough, it was her husband's. Awkward and mysterious. Maybe his email address got hacked, or he's leaving the college? Or there are more scandalous options that come to mind. Obviously, I'll never say anything to her about it, and I'll probably never find out the story behind her strange request, but now I'm left speculating. This is the second year I've worked with them, and it makes me wonder if I'll see them again next year...
