The Blind Copy

Why is it that everything in life is a double-edge sword? Is there not one thing left sacred that can cause other people harm, without potentially bringing yourself damage??

The latest thing to bitch about: the blind copy feature on email.

Ahh, love it. This marvelous tool allows you to write heart-stopping words of evil to ex-boyfriends, and secretly copy all your friends so they can see what you are capable of. And you can forward jokes, evites and random spam to friends and family without them ganging up on you and telling you to "fuck off" in a reply-all. Blind copying rules.

However, just the other day I was exposed to its evils. Yup, my once favorite email friend turned postal on me. You see, there happened to be a budget issue and a co-worker was unhappy with the situation. To address the issue, he sent an email to me. Interestingly, there was no one on the cc list. How can that be??? Every work email has at least 6 people copied on it (gotta love that paper trail.) When no one is copied on your work email, it can only mean one thing: the blind copy. And when the content in the email is not one that will get you promoted, it can only mean one other thing:

Your boss was blind copied.
