Subject: Next Wednesday?

Hey, Courtney,

Something came up, so I can’t meet you today. Does any other day this week work?

I want to make sure you have enough of me for that thesis thing.

Hey, Kyle.

Not really.

I’m taking over for two sick staff writers.

“That thesis thing” is my GRADE. I’m pulling an all-nighter at The Pitt News offices tonight. Can you show up to answer a few questions?

Courtney


Subject: Re: Re: Next Wednesday?

Shit.

I didn’t see your email until after I finished my midnight drills.

I’m in the office now and don’t see you.

Next Wednesday, then?

Kyle S.


Subject: Re: Re: Re: Next Wednesday?

Because you showed up to the office at NOON.

*side-eye emoji*

Yes, NEXT Wednesday.

7:00 p.m. Fuel & Fuddle.

Please set your alarm.

Courtney


Subject: After Wednesday

Question:Are you going to be formal with me the entire time?

I mean, I’d be more willing to open up and be conversational, if it’s more like a chill thing than an interview.

(Can you please unblock me on Facebook?)

Subject: Re: After Wednesday

You’re ignoring me, aren’t you?

(Why did you block me on Twitter, too?)
