RE: Wistful in Washington

Message:

My boss keeps trying to add me to a group chat, but I don’t think I should be on there. They’re talking about some really serious stuff, I don’t think I’ve got the security clearance to see. Also there’s a number on there from some guy from Atlantic…that’s not a state. What should I do?

Poe-plies:

Dear RE: Wistful in Washington,

OKAY. LISTEN. LISTEN TO ME (POE).
