*PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT*

If you work for an adoption agency, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT send your families any type of e-mail communication unless it contains the good news they are waiting for, especially if they are waiting for news involving any combination of two or three letters.
Don't even try to be nice, and send a little hello. Or, "thinkin' of you". Or a funny forward. Or a chain letter. Or a new recipe you thought they might like to try. And most definitely not an e-mail announcing that your hours have been cut back and you will now be that much harder to get a hold of. Nada. Nunca.Nothing.
Unless ...you want your client to poop their pants when they see they have a message from you in their in-box. Let me clarify... I don't mind poopin' for good news, but I might be a little resentful if I find out I have pooped for your blueberry scone recipe or your new poopy schedule. Might.
I'm just sayin'.

Does your agency... seriously... Amie I can't help it, I am laughing... do they SERIOUSLY email you chain letters and recipes??!!!!
I would be SOOOOOOO mad!!!! So glad ASIA only sends me emails when there is something really important to say!! Geesh.
Love!
R
oh I am laughing so hard.... no, they do not send me chain letters...lol. But thanks for being mad with me if they had. You got my back girl!!!LOL...
but I did get one announcing the new cut back hours... which is fine, if I weren't waiting for my LOA with a excitedly nervous stomach to boot. No e-mails unless its the good stuff peeps.again, just sayin'.
:)
Oh, geez...poor thing! I know the feeling, I'm waiting for a referral any day and ANYTHING that comes from my agency makes me jump.
Funny, funny post. Hang in there, chica!
Melissa
I just adore you : ) but you know that!!!!!
I'm not laughing (well just a little) but it's not funny....I would of probably puked when I opened up the email....
Love ya!!!!! I say sick the mailman on them : )
I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry, here, Amie...Sorry for the false alarm and anything that happened as a result.
xoxo,
Lisa
LOVIN' AMIE!
If I see one more "Picnic Anouncement" while I am waiting for my approval...I am going to scream!
Glad I'm not the only one.:)

Not cool people. I almost pooped when I saw "Adoption Agency"
OMGoodness!!! Don't those people have a clue? Grab the Scott tissue and hang on

Hey Amie,
Just read Margie's post on the Panda board. So sorry for the turmoil. I know there are many questions right now and I hope NOTHING gets disrupted.
Hang in there, sweetie.
Love,
Lisa
Guess "she" didn't get this message before our last email????
I'm thinking now that she should NEVER send us another one ...
oh wait...
she won't.
M
Ok, you are too funny!
