My company sent me a fishing test email from a “no-reply@companyname.com” email address. I sent it to our security department and asked if I would ever get legitimate emails from that address.

Let’s security tell me if emails are legit or not.
Have you tried cannibis? Heavy CBD topicals do wonders for my hands, a nice bit to smoke gives near-instant relief, and an edible or tincture helps the inflammation for a longer term.
