Jane’s Phone: Technological Skills Still Subpar

I was proud of myself that I (the least tech savvy of our little staff, but I'm learning more) had gotten us all these businessy email addresses before launch, but to answer myself in this email: No, I did not do things correctly. Clearly!

With some help (thanks, Esther!), I did fix this so that we are no longer all named Jane Pratt. Anyway, the Lollipop Balloon is what I named myself 20 years ago on my first ever email address back in the early Jane magazine days. I kept it that way ever since and every time I see it I hope to remember not to take things too seriously. (My daughter’s phone is Popsicle and our dogs are Balloon and Lunch, so apparently I try this Willy Wonka-y self-deception trick a lot.) But every time I see it on an outgoing email that is businessy, I get a jolt of terror that I have mistakenly shown that to everyone receiving. It’s akin to the fear that you walked outside with your pants off or something. So, joy undone. Haha whatever.
