I’m lucky enough to have an outlook account with a much more professional address than any of my other email addresses, not including than my secondary protonmail account. But I’m definitely gonna have to close that outlook account due to security reasons and get a new one (for professional stuff since I doubt anyone would accept anything other than gmail or outlook where I live).

Ain’t now way anyone is gonna say my gmail account (just used for yt because I like commenting on certain videos) saying I’m a fan of a long since dead yt channel is very professional. My outlook account at least was/is more professional as it is nothing but a few letters that don’t spell anything.

This hits close to home. Bought a domain as a teen and still have universal forwarding setup for email so I have this wacky domain but I love being able to instantly create a working email address with it and it still holds my primary email account. If suzy’s flower shop needs an email address for me to get 10% off if I sign up for a mailing list, I tell them my email is suzysflowers@myjuveniledomain.com

And they think I’m full of shit until it works.

“Get with Josh about how to handle this client’s order logistically. Is your email still sexysandworm2010?”

“Y-yeah.”

I’m old enough that my Gmail (and my Hotmail) are just first name and last name.

I still sometimes think about my first email address, and how it had a four letter password. Just signed up at Yahoo, it wasn’t anything special.

Joke’s on you, the username I made when I was 13 is now my username at work!

Haha…ha… ha

(Me, over 40 in the same sitch)

I also still have my really old one but I got a couple others, one of which is the current “official” one, the old one is way too compromised lmao. But it looks normal, not a crazy gamer tag or whatever.

But I don’t have my very first one anymore, that was a “caramail” one I can’t even remember what it was but it must’ve surely been extremely cringe.

My email was fartface3000 for a very long time. It was only embarrassing always.

I still use my Gmail account and proud to say that I will use it forever. Even though Google have gone to the dark side, I will keep my Gmail mainly because my email address was created way back before they forbid anyone having a strange sounding email address. My email address is a relic from the olden fun days.

I remember I applied to my first 2 jobs using my goofy yahoo email address. By my third job I had a more professional one.

Mine had 2000 inside for extra coolness.

I surprised you landed a job with it.

I still use my first email (Hotmail) circa ~1997 as a sort of catch all. I have several others for various professional purposes.
