Hi Reader, So I was on holiday and had a blast, then got back... ...and then almost immediately got busy with work again, which is why this newsletter is one week late. Mea culpa. Here's what I was composing in my head over the last week-plus: If you're reaching out to people, please don't just message "Hi" and nothing else. I've gotten this a few times and it annoys me EVERY time. Like, what did you want to reach out about? Just say it right away! Don't wait for the recipient to respond...
