What the hell is a Daily Fax Email Blog?

You might have been wondering about the title of the blog. You see, here at crazyville, we have a lot of specific forms that we use.

Because The Boss Lady is out of the office on long work trips at least a few times a year, a form was created back in the day to keep her aprised of the goings-on in the office. It was given the name "The Daily Fax" because it was a fax--one that was sent (gasp!) daily during her stints away from the office. It is really a way to make certain that we all actually show up, since without a daily blurb describing the mundane crap we'd accomplished that day, she imagined we'd be sitting around in jeans (a no-no), having pizza parties (another no-no--office fraternizing is frowned upon) and doing basically nothing. And that is, of course, mostly the state of affairs when she is away, but we're clever enough to put in little snippets that make it sound like we're slaving away while she traipses Europe.

Now, the company isn't especially "modern." You might have guessed that when you read that a fax was sent to her each day--who faxes anymore?! Well, we're working on joining the 21st century, and recently the fax has given way to--you got it--an email. Pretty progressive thinking on our director's part.

But we're just not to the point of abandoning the name. How can we? She has asked for The Daily Fax for so many years that it would be an utter travesty to lose the fax entirely. So now each time The Boss Lady is away, we get a pert reminder from Special K to contribute to the Daily Fax Email. Even better is that we actually do go to the document on our F drive, type in the day's news, then save it. And Special K has the big task of attaching that document to an email which she forwards to The Boss Lady (this alone is a feat for her).

So what could be more fitting for a blog title than referencing the redundant antiquated way in which we operate?
