idk if it's growing up on IMs or what but i email aggressively casually like opening with Hi not Dear i don't fuck with Sincerely or Regards or whatever but this means when it comes to email lube i have a very limited arsenal of "hope you're doing well" and "thanks!"

I genuinely often have to force myself to even sign off emails. Like, mate, my name is in the 'from' section. This isn't ye'olden times where it could be Mr Darcy

there's something about "endless tubes of email lube" that could be written, perhaps in the spirit of this, taking stock of all our Gmailshttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/07/24/what-the-enron-e-mails-say-about-us …
