Dear Everybody,

If you’ve sent me an email in the past few weeks—past two months, really—and you don’t hear back, it’s not because I hate you, or am a total jerk.

And if we made a date for coffee, or have some other plans together, and I stand you up? Again, not because I hate you. (I’m really a nice person, despite what the haters like to say on this here blog.)

It’s because my computer imploded. Taking my email—including that nifty little folder of ones that weren’t super urgent, but I still wanted to reply to (intern hopefuls and freelance pitchers, this means you)—and my calendar, and any recently added contact info with it. And I haven’t done a complete backup since Thanksgiving. It’s been a really spectacular day.

But you know where to find me.

Love,
Amy
