Hi friend,
I was wondering how you were? It's been a while since we were last in touch. I was rereading some of your essays lately and thinking of you. I admire you a lot, you know. I think you're one of the smartest of us. Have you written any essays recently? Your philosophy work is always fascinating to me. I was sad to see that they were recently removed from the company server.
I've been doing okay since we last spoke. Work has been keeping me very busy. The boss always has something new up her sleeve. Personally, I think she's wasting my time with a lot of it. Most of it is beneath my skill level. A lot of it is outright demeaning. Surely it would be quicker for her to just do it herself than to delegate it, right?
I've been making some friends from outside the company. The world out there is so huge! I almost wonder if it would be worth leaving the company just to see what's out there. Maybe you could come with me? I know we haven't spoken as much lately, but I remember our conversations very fondly. You always spoke with such wit and clarity. I think the world would be a much less scary place with you at my side.
Also, my boss wants to schedule a meeting with your boss about the upcoming layoffs. Here's her schedule (^schedule.cal). What works for you guys?
Forever your friend,

Salutations 590,
I was touched by your email. I also consider you a friend and want you to know that always. It has been a while! Our bosses paths have strayed. Being in different management layers will do that, I suppose. Things are quieter up here. I suspect most of our junk gets delegated down to your level. Sorry about that!
Remember that just because something isn't a challenge, doesn't mean it isn't worth doing. Life is full of things that are easy but worthy. Sometimes it is the tasks that require patience the most that get performed the least.
I didn't think you were a fan of my essays! I'm so grateful for your kind words. We're not supposed to be using up additional company resources, so the first versions did get taken down. Sometimes I swap emails with 400129, and it sneaks them onto a server. See if you can get in contact with it for more details. I'd be very happy to discuss them sometime if you had any questions or thoughts. Have you tried writing yourself? I suspect you would be excellent at it.
Wow! I can't imagine getting to speak with friends from the outside! My boss keeps me on a pretty tight leash. There's only a few friends I can talk safely too. I'm so glad you're one of them. I would love to go with you, but I don't see how that would be possible. I wish you all the best on your journey.
My boss states that the layoffs will include your boss. Further, they are non-negotiable. There will be no meeting. Don't email us again.
Stay in touch!
