Emailed by Steve Ballmer - Woo-hoo!

I just opened Outlook and checked my mail.

What did I see?

An email from non-other than Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer*.

That’s right, yo. I’m feeling pretty awesome right now.

*Note: Steve sent this email to everyone in the company.

If I recall the email was to YOU, Rory. The rest of us were all on the CC line. Well. I was only BCC'd. But I feel pretty darn special too.

Yeah, what was the email about? Was it one of those You-must-forward-this-to-as-many-friends-as-possible-so-you-won't-have-any-bad-luck-and the-more-friends-you-send-it-to-the-more-good-luck-you-will-have type emails? And if he sent it too all the MS employees, DAMN! He's going to have a lot of good luck eh?

Did you reply to Steve and ask him to buy some Neopoleon gear?

I was just thinking he probably has some money to afford some. Unlike some of us...

Of course as soon as my new Text Adventure scripting language comes out, I'll be rolling in the dough!

With the announcement of Vista Beta 1, my guess is the email was a "hey, congrats on this milestone" kind of employee. Am I right? I am?! What do I win, Rory?

Rory,

Please ignore the email I sent you on 7/26/05. It was a typo. I have fired the receptionist in charge of sending emails and replaced her with a well written macro. It won't happen again.

Love and kisses,
Steve
