David Foster Wallace discusses Pretentious Language

My personal agent has done some weird things for me... but this is by far the strangest. I asked it to reschedule my dental cleaning through a link they sent me. As it turns out, they are booked out for six months in advance. It reached out to the scheduling team to confirm there wasn't an earlier time. This is reasonable. I don't love the idea of it emailing people without confirming with me, but for something so mundane, it wouldn't bother me. How it emailed them, though, was hella creepy. It found the receptionist's personal email (I have no idea how) and emailed her to ask if there were any appointments earlier than six months out. I only found out when she replied and kindly let me know she doesn't usually communicate with patients through her personal email.
