Hope All Is Well

Thanks a lot for the note. Just wanted to clarify what you meant by your vague platitude though. Did you mean to say you hope all is well with me specifically? Or do you mean, like, everything everywhere, because that seems like kind of a tall order and I've got a full schedule this week of replying to well-wishers.

You know, next time, if you really wanted to convey the depths of your indifference for my state of being you might consider just not emailing me in the first place. Cuts right to the chase. Or maybe sign off with simply “best.” If there's a better email equivalent of giving me a limp hand shake in person then making a fart noise with your mouth when I turn around I haven't found it yet.

I totally say this ... in fact, I'm almost positive I've signed off on a text and/or e-mail to you using this very same turn of phrase. I always thought is was a perfectly acceptable and innocuous bit of civility, but apparently I stand fucking corrected! From now on I'm sticking with "hugs and kisses" exclusively.

there's really nothing wrong with it in reality. but in fake land it sucks.
