the one with the stupid blooper
everyone, at some point in their lives would end up making at least one dumb mistake. last night was her first.in her haste to send an email out amidst cheery conversations with her colleagues, it slipped her mind to erase the previously attached conversations at the bottom of that mail. she's always made it a habit to either erase all history or choose not to key in the intended person's mail address first just in case careless and irresponsible mistakes like these occur. but last night was just one of those nights where her brain lacked caution and in her incredibly negligent mode, she sent that offending mail out to mr x. offending cos just two conversations below, she mentioned that mr x is "demanding" and has a "knack for complaining" if she fails to get extra technical help for his event.
the moment she hit send, she recoiled in horror at her indiscreet action and tried in vain to recall the message. MOST UNFORTUNATELY, her outlook does not run on MS exchange and wasn't able to utilise the recall functions?!? what the fuck?? what's the bloody point of having the function in outlook and not being able to use it then? her colleagues tried hard to calm and reassure her that the mail was "factual" and not "personal (ie that fucking bastard or that old whiney man"). still, a mistake's a mistake and a dumb one at that.
now she has to pray hard that mr x ignores the offending mail (she sent a following mail with a header that said "pls ignore previous. this is correct") or that if he does, he wouldn't bother scrolling downwards.
so much for caution all these years. fuck.
