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.
You are now officially Lollipop Balloon in my contacts. Lol Ball for short.
Jane your subpar technical skills are maddeningly endearing! But seriously, and I say this with love, we need to get you some tutorials stat lol.
