The Purloined Letter by Juxtapolemic

Being a Literature Lover and interested in all things Poe, I was excited to complete this task. Problem is, I couldn't think of a good way to prax this praxis. It just so happened that I accidentally found a way to do this today.
I was at work, where we share 3 computer terminals to process transactions and google things for customers. In the few moments between fielding inane questions and shoveling in money for fashion accessory computers, I managed to open my Gmail, only to get pulled away moments later. So the browser was left open, and unknown to me, I had received an e-mail from MediCann, my old Medical Marijuana Prescriber from my California days. While I was busy introducing someone's grandmother to the internet, my boss & a few others happened to use the terminal on which my Gmail was still open. Not that this was so much of a big deal, I doubt my boss would care too much, as it is, but it was kind of embarrassing. But I'm not sure why, exactly. I just like to maintain a clean record with my employer, which is reasonable.
I suppose it wasn't all that inCRIMincating, either, since it's for legal Medical Marijuana. But here it is nonetheless, my embarrassing screen shot of exposing my habits and health issues to my boss. ("It's the bubbling of his hideous bong!").
I did manage to leave it open for the rest of the day, effectively hiding something somewhat incriminating in plain sight.

Funny. (Also, you keep your inbox very clean. How do you do that?!)

I like how this was an accidental beginning of a prax.
& I giggle.
