Check out this email from Sarah..

Hope you're having a good day so far. I was running late this morning, which kind of sets up the morning for failure if you let it get to you. I let it get to me. I was yelling at a school bus all the way down Summit because it was going 28 mph and I needed to go about 120 mph to be on time. Oh well.
If you could play E.M.P.T.Y by the Clientele, I'd maybe start making up for lost time here and start working instead of e-mailing DJs. Let's be serious, probably not, but it's a neat idea. Have a good one,
Sarah

I hope it helped, Sarah.
