Late but still worth posting…
My friend Marie and her husband have an accounting practice and they always disappear for a couple of months in the spring…I was thinking of her on Tuesday (Tax day) and sent her this email:
Hello Marie,
I have some deeply personal things I want to talk to you about this morning. I will call you on your cell, please set aside an enormous amount of time, say 2 hours or so. I really want to get into it.
Oh, could you be someplace quite and private, like in your car or the stationery closet at work? I don’t want nosey Mike to listen in. If he wants I will call him later this afternoon, just to chat so he doesn’t feel left out.
So I have your cell # so please be waiting for my call!
Love, your mean and not-so- funny friend,
Suz
ps totally joking. I’d be surprised if you even open this today! I AM still going to call Mike today to chat though…
Aren’t I mean? Here’s her reply…
Hi Suz,
OK you funny girl – You almost made my heart stop, then I thought “how am I going to squeeze time into talking to her” then I kept reading and realized that you got me. I will make sure Mike sets some time aside to chat with you, he would love that. Thanks for thinking of me today! Have a great day
Hugs,
Ree
…Teasing accountants on tax day is one of my favorite pastimes.
