I just found out something.

In looking at my co-worker's email at our desk here,
I noticed that other ppl's email address at work went like:

keino_carty@sbmail.smb.com
sandy.kaporalis@ssmb.com

I was very much upset over this since mine, as you know, is:

yl28172@imcnam.sbi.com

Don't get me wrong.
I've gotten very used to yl28172,
even going so far as to thinking of using it
as a sort of nom de plume in
my pretentious poetry,
my musical incantations of nothing.

Well, I called the helpdesk for
the FCI Helpdesk ( that's where I work ),
and lo and behold !
my email address stands as:

yvonne.liu@ssmb.com
yvonne.liu@sbmail.smb.com

It will be turned - later - into a proxy
of yl28172@imcnam.sbi.com,
but that's not for us to worry about.

Ok, time for Halloween Hauntings:
