Someone called me up and said, "For some reason, I am getting very odd emails from you that were sent out during the night, tons of them and it appears to be copy and paste items from random email/online conversations you have had yesterday"
Me, "Really, like what"
Him, "Just really odd bits, nothing makes a lot of sense, but we have never emailed or met".
So I went to my computer and found nothing in the sent items, I was clueless as how he was getting them. I asked him to send me back some of the emails and he did...and I saw them as normal Outlook sent items, but with tons of my work from the past day, just cut and pasted into weird paragraphs. Some had details I would not want shared.
Then he told me that he was starting to get other emails from me as we were on the phone, some pictures from my smartphone and then actually one "thought I had" but never typed up. I started to think I had a weird brain virus! Then someone called and told me they were getting my emails and so were my staff, getting all the same cut/paste and some were getting more of my "brain thoughts" that I know I never typed!
It gets worse, way worse. Then I start looking through the emails people are sending me back and realizing that every part of my life is now infected with all of my computer being cut/pasted, my phone and texts and my thoughts, etc. All of my staff were seeing other staff files, clients were seeing things they should not be, just weird stuff I had on my computer and I felt totally out of control. I laid on the floor crying my eyes out feeling like I was about to die.
Then...
I woke up sweating and realized it was a nightmare and thought what a good movie this would make lol.
