I’ve recently received a couple of strange emails. Initially I thought that they had simply been sent to the wrong email address, mistaking me for someone else. But then, as I read them a bit more carefully, I got the sense that they were simply too vague, that there was something wrong with them. Is it a new form of phishing or attempting to get responders to provide valid email addresses? I received two of the emails eight minutes apart. They actually use my real name in one of the emails, though this could have been determined by the same means my email was harvested. The rest of the post is after the break…
Each of you should take a series. When you finish with one let Casey know and he can set you up with the next one. Please stay consistent with the naming of the projects

10 am start tomorrow, so get there by 9:30 so everyone can get in. Make sure they all have your cell # so they can reach you, and set up the best way for them to get to you in the morning(s). If something comes up and you are going to be late, give Sharon a shout so she can let them in. As they finish each series, I want them to come to you for assignment of the next one, which ever that may be, so we can keep a tally of what’s been done. I don’t really care what order they are loaded in, as long as the priority stuff gets done. I left it with Vinny that he should come in Sunday to start working with the 30th anniversary stuff.
The email addresses and those who were CCed seem valid, what I think made me nervous about the whole thing was the general language being used. Of course this might also just be an interesting cross section into how people who are part of the same community of practice communicate with one another. It seems like some sort of video post-production work based on my media industry experience, but I’m curious who has the name Casey O’Donnell working in the media industry.
