Just shoot me

[susandennis]

I sent an email to one guy today trying to explain the political ramifications behind what was happening. The fool sent it on to the people who did NOT need to hear my opinions on the subject. I know better and it was stupid. Maybe I'm trying to make the job decision happen. Or maybe I'm just stupid.

Geez, what a jerk. (not you, him) Hope everything comes out OK for you.

He doesn't know any better and I knew that before I sent the note. I think it's not going to be terrible but it would help me if I didn't do stupid things....

[susandennis]

I knew he didn't know any better when I sent the damn thing. So it really isn't his fault. It's all mine. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Haha! Been there, seen that, done it, eaten the (crow) pie. And ultimately got laid off, and still only wish I'd said more. Never mind, worse things happen at sea... and other such platitudes.

So, now all you need is the co-worker a dark alley and a length of lead pipe. The lead pipe is quite hard to find these days.

Sadly, it helps a lot to hear from a survivor! Thanks... lead pipe... looking, looking, looking...

You're not stupid. You just temporarily forgot that not everyone can be trusted. Especially in the work place. If all work got done as quickly as the grapevine moves, we'd be a much more productive country!!!

By the way, I've been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy those little graphics you include with your posts. Where do you find them? :)

[susandennis]

Thank you! I get a kick out of the little things myself. Periodically, I go on a hunt for little pictures. I collect them all in a folder on my website where I can go grab whatever I need. And when I need a specific one like today, I go to Google Image Search..

Today I typed in 'shoot myself' and the one you saw was the about the third one on the page. I also saved it with the others because I'm pretty sure I'll need it again one day!

Don't you just hate it when that happens? :(

Ugh. Sympathy. Those moments are always nasty.

For whatever it's worth, my boss once sent an email saying that someone would never bother to do something. An email exchange followed and - about six or seven letters later - the guy he had said it of got copied.

On the plus side, as far as we can tell, he never read it...either that or he's used to it and didn't care.

Never fun, though - and what I took from that was to keep it all verbal if I don't want it forwarded to the topic of the conversation. I'm sure I slip up, now and then. Hope one of those never bites me.

You have my sympathy. Hopefully it will stick to just being embarrassing.
