Dept. of I Mailed It To You, So You Throw It Away, crossfiled under Chances To Name-Drop Budgie:
17 July 2008 xxx, Inc. attn: Office Manager / Operations xxx x. xxxxxx xxx., xxx xxx Chicago, IL 60601 To my old friends at xxx: The enclosed are keys to the xxx offices, vintage 2002. The large key opens the xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx server room; one of the smaller keys worked the main locks, and the other was either to your men's lav. or to the offices of an advertising agency in the West Loop — I can't remember for sure. I'm sending them to you in case they are of any value, in the off chance you haven't re-keyed your locks in the interim (two renovations later?...). If you can believe it, I was still carrying these around latched to the inside of my computer satchel. I also found a University of Chicago residence hall key in there, which makes it something of a mystery how I ever received my key deposit upon move-out (I did). I still look back with gratitude on my time spent at xxx: while I was often hiding in the server room, playing loud music and taking apart your phone system, I also benefited immensely from interacting with the xxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx's wonderful clients and learning from my devoted colleagues. I was (and am) humbled by everyone's dedication to your mission, and I'm impressed by the organization's myriad successes across diverse program areas. After xxx, I worked in the entertainment industry, where my colleagues and I had the privilege of working with one Ms. Courtney Reed when she was still "Budgie." From there, advertising; now, I'm back in my native Northern California, working in public relations. There's a lot to love about this part of the world, but I still miss much about Chicago, including my dear friends. So many xxxers, past and present, will always remain on that list. I hope all is well. Thanks for all the free color printing, and sorry it took so long to get your keys back to you. Fondly,  Jonathan E. Cowperthwait |
