I hope she gets the e-mail... they wanted her to proof the menu for Wednesday. I forwarded it along to her when I saw it... Criminy. It would help if her goshdarn boss would stop sending things to multiple people AND me...

*shrug*

If not for these people... there would be no blog.

Redbox - Seattle, WA

Apparently, I've rented something called "Another Year" from a Redbox at a Walgreens in Seattle, WA... I'm willing to bet it's the wine dealer Erin, but who knows... maybe there's another Erin Thomas living in the same town as her...

I forwarded the receipt to her, we'll see what happens.

Lafayette Realtor Erin Thomas

This is a proof I was sent today for Erin Thomas Keaty of Keaty Realty in Lafayette, LA. There is a second page and the original was in color. It carried the "team" metaphor much to far for my taste, but whatever.

When I told the printer that it was the wrong Erin Thomas he had contacted he thanked me for responding. That's nice.

A response from Wine Dealer Erin!

Sorry about that - you'd think after 2 years of employment, he'd figure it out. Thank you, other Erin Thomas!

Cheers,
Erin Thomas

HOLY COW!!! I never thought I'd get a response from this one. She showed me!

Scotty doesn't know.

I got ANOTHER e-mail for wine vendor Erin. This is my response: Scott,

I am almost positive that you need to update your e-mail address book. According to your website, the Erin Thomas who works for Unique Wines can be reached at (address redacted for privacy purposes).

Have a good day,

Erin

Seriously, dude. I have responded to this guy before. Saying "Hey, you don't have the right Erin Thomas!"

He does not appear to get it. Maybe this time he'll update his contacts list. Maybe.

I've never been to the State library of Queensland

I've never even been to Australia for that matter. But, I did receive two different requests to fill out a survey:

"Dear Thomas,,

As a State Library of Queensland e-services card user (or past user), could you spare 10 minutes of your time to complete a short survey? You could win a prize and your feedback will help us keep our collections relevant and up-to-date.

Just go to (survey website edited out). To be eligible to win one of three $100 Coles/Myer gift vouchers (excludes State Library staff) you must complete the survey before 5pm on Monday 13 June 2011.

Thank you for your help

State Library of Queensland"

All formatting left as is. So, my name is not Thomas. And, if you're wondering what Coles/Myer is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coles_Group.

So, I'll not be doing the survey. It is nice to know that Erin Thomas is getting around the world. Remind me sometime and I'll tell you about when I was getting e-mails from the Socialist Workers Party of Ireland. That was great.

The Wine Dealer from Seattle

I received another wine deal e-mail today meant for that lady in Seattle... the details of the e-mail are unimportant. The important thing is that I went to the website of the initial sender and found this other Erin Thomas... her e-mail address is on the site... her GMAIL account address... so, why is it that I can find her e-mail address with a simple search of their webpage, but her own co-workers cannot do the same?

So, I forwarded the e-mail to her address with the message "I think this was meant for you." We'll see how that goes.
