Time Travel

Not enough hours in the day? Employ this Pro Tip and go back in time.

Backstory: I needed a W-9 to add a Contractor to our accounts payable system. They sent me the W-9 at 11:37AM, I forwarded it to my Colleague at 11:41AM, who sent it off to the Accountant at 11:24AM. How else did he/she send the form off 13min before I even got it? Must be a Pro Tip.

Email thread included. Read bottom up for best results.
