I’ve believed from the beginning that her real job is to destroy Yahoo. She’s a former founding top dog at Google - which just happens to have Yahoo as a big competitor.

Happy happy! So sorry! Things happen! Big parachute! Ka-ching! LOL!

Her missing a major client dinner with potential multi-million dollar advertisers and blaming it on her alarm clock didn’t wasn’t the ticket, either.

I know she likes purple because she ticked off me and a gazillion others by changing the email colors.
