More spam, or What I’ve been doing

I received this piece of concise, witty and rather insightful spam in the inbox of my work address this morning, and as it amused me I thought I’d share it.

From: Monte Cunningham
Subject: best

your life is crap

Mr Cunningham clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I’ve been so busy between tutoring, compiling electronic dictionaries and my regular work, that I’ve barely had a chance to blog over the past couple of months, but I’ve enjoyed every last bit.

We’ve pretty nearly finished the dictionary, and the teaching semester wraps up soon, but I am soon to be involved in producing a similar electronic dictionary for another Australian language; this time from Sydney. So things show no sign of slowing.

Whoever said there’s no work available in linguistics?

Yeah, that is some pretty amusing spam. Was that the full message, then? It is remarkably brief.

It just warms my heart to read that you’ve got so much linguistics work lined up. And that you are doing such exciting stuff. Those dictionaries sound great. (I just reread your old post–thanks for linking to it.)

Sorry I haven’t been commenting in so long. I’ve still been around lurking, though. Just too busy with work and life to leave many comments. Especially comments that require thought. And you, my friend, tend to write thoughtful posts that make me want to respond with thoughtful comments.
