Trouble is, my life bears a striking resemblance to that e-mail. I guess that's not all bad. I'm starting to get bugged about finding a job in Durham. I'm looking on the internet but everything seems to involve more work and less alcohol than I'm interested in. Keep the tips coming, I've got to drink now. >From: Jason.Wolfe@enron.com >To: hotwanger@hotmail.com >CC: clay.f.guinn@exxonmobil.com, fstiber@dg-studios.com, cbreste@nd.edu >Subject: RE: I miss H-Town >Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 12:21:13 -0500 > >Hotwanger, > >Unemployment is not something to be taken lightly.
