I just want to warn everyone to avoid incautiously opening any attachments from my address. Spammers have tired of using my address, so they've apparently sold it to virus-mailers. If you get a message with my address in the return path, that doesn't mean that it actually came from my address. Pay particular attention to the last extension (if you get a file with more than one period in the filename, it's not from me).
This has happened to me before. This time round I've got a couple of returns from people that I've never messaged, but I'll probably get a lot more before this one peters out.

It's ALWAYS a good idea to get into the habit of including a short, personal, signed note in the body of ANY email you send that contains an attachment.
I don't care who it's from, if the body of the email doesn't say something like "Here's my story. Thanks for reading. Dakota" OR "Check this out. Really funny! Jill" then I don't open it.

Depending on what you mean by "bad", of course.
I have to say that this is obviously a photoshop, yet it puzzles me that anyone could think that makes it okay to show it to everyone attempting to enter the store when the entire reason you are employed there is to make people feel welcome.

By the way, I haven't seen any more returns from that virus. I guess either that means that my address is so trusted that virus scanners automatically give any email with that return address a clean bill of health, or my address isn't being used so much anymore.
So I'll abandon this thread with a general admonition to continue practicing safe use of the Internet.
Meaning don't download viruses and don't upload photoshopped pictures of yourself doing something really dumb.
