Ugh. This is the SECOND time I have embarrassed myself in a work e-mail. I swear I proofread emails, and yet, I still cannot stop making inappropriate typos!
Today I received an instant message via our work messenger system from one of our product schedulers.
Loren: Read the email you just sent me.
So I open up this email that I wrote to her in response to her question asking if we can process some product at the refinery.
Here was my one-line response:
Yes, we can re-process all three, and you can post them to nudist.
By ‘nudist,’ I meant ‘undist,’ which is a category in this scheduling program that we use. Spell check clearly did not recognize the word ‘undist’ and thought ‘nudist’ would be a more appropriate correction. I also must not have been paying much attention to the change, as is evident by the fact that this message was in my ‘sent’ mail.
I wrote back to her to say:
Amara: It’s a good thing Paula wasn't copied on that one :-/
(Paula is the manager of the department)
Just as I type this, I hear the entire floor of schedulers cracking up. And then Loren’s response:
Loren: I sent it to her that's why you can hear us all laughing....you made our day!!!
Womp womp.
So I tell Joe this story, which obviously, means I get a response that will make me feel 100 times better. And by ‘better,’ I mean worse.
Joe: hahaha that’s amazing
Joe: you and your Freudian slips
Joe: either that or they toss it up to the fact that they assume English is your second language.
So Joe, for that comment alone and the aforementioned comment in the subject line above, you have now been shouted out in my blog.
I LOVE this.
