“Get with Josh about how to handle this client’s order logistically. Is your email still sexysandworm2010?”

“Y-yeah.”

I’m old enough that my Gmail (and my Hotmail) are just first name and last name.

This hits close to home. Bought a domain as a teen and still have universal forwarding setup for email so I have this wacky domain but I love being able to instantly create a working email address with it and it still holds my primary email account. If suzy’s flower shop needs an email address for me to get 10% off if I sign up for a mailing list, I tell them my email is [email protected]

And they think I’m full of shit until it works.

I still sometimes think about my first email address, and how it had a four letter password. Just signed up at Yahoo, it wasn’t anything special.

Haha…ha… ha

(Me, over 40 in the same sitch)

Very me irl. Almost the same ages. I’m looking to change it to one that uses my own domain name though, so I can switch email providers in the future. The convenience of Gmail was always too much to overcome, but the US is no longer to be trusted and I’d rather use something European and cut any ties to the US. Before the orange man pulls some stunt that either results in all my mail being inaccessible or all my mail being shared with the world wide web.

Joke’s on you, the username I made when I was 13 is now my username at work!

My email was fartface3000 for a very long time. It was only embarrassing always.

Mine had 2000 inside for extra coolness.

I also still have my really old one but I got a couple others, one of which is the current “official” one, the old one is way too compromised lmao. But it looks normal, not a crazy gamer tag or whatever.

But I don’t have my very first one anymore, that was a “caramail” one I can’t even remember what it was but it must’ve surely been extremely cringe.

I remember I applied to my first 2 jobs using my goofy yahoo email address. By my third job I had a more professional one.

I still use my Gmail account and proud to say that I will use it forever. Even though Google have gone to the dark side, I will keep my Gmail mainly because my email address was created way back before they forbid anyone having a strange sounding email address. My email address is a relic from the olden fun days.

I still use my first email (Hotmail) circa ~1997 as a sort of catch all. I have several others for various professional purposes.

I surprised you landed a job with it.
