Damnit...I did it....

I hate you "REPLY ALL" button...how dare you scorn me!!!!



I did it...I joined the club of people who mistakenly hit the "reply all" button at work when the message was only meant to go to one person. The funny thing is, I am usually the first to complain when someone hits that pesky button and accidentally tells me their weekend plans while I'm working or about their new puppy, etc.

Friday, I became that person...

My friend e-mailed our firm about a Leukemia walk at 5 p.m. on October 9. As we all know...that is the day of my LSAT. So,I wrote back....

Think about the things you would say after taking a huge test like that...think about what I would say!!!! "I'm gonna go get FUCKED up afterwards", "I'm gonna go GET SOME after that horrible experience"..........................

By the Grace of GOD - I kept it PG (for the first time in my life) and simply said "I would love to do this but I'll be too tired after the LSAT...."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


THANK GOD. The worst part was that I was PLANNING on saying crude things but for some reason (GOD) I didn't put those in. I was literally thinking up the worst combination of things I could say to crack my friend up LOL. I even thought I DID put those things in. I got a message from another friend that said "did you mean to send that to everyone?" HEART ATTACK!!!!

I had to go and READ the message and when I saw that I didn't put all that dirtiness in there, I relaxed a little. But then I realized that now the whole firm would know I was taking the LSAT....

That's not so bad on paper but I'm a really private person when it comes to things like that. I don't want the firm, especially my enemies there, to know what I'm doing with my life. I don't want HR getting ideas that I'm leaving soon (I still need to save and I may not get in so I may need this job!) so they should find someone who is staying.

So I tried to recall the message (yay outlook) but the current tally is 70 "Message Recall Faileds" to about 50 "Message Recalled Success". Thank GOD the e-mail was only to our Atlanta office. I'm mortified all the same!

  1. LOL this was not as juicy of a story as i had expected but i can imagine the relief LOL

    i'm always scared that my glitchy "smart"phone will send some of my more private texts to the wrong person..texts were getting sent to the wrong person for a few hours after the last update...nothing terribly embarrassing was sent but i'm still paranoid

  2. Uh yea - I'm glad it wasnt as bad as it could have been.

    It was sooo weird though - I SWORE I had sent all that juicy stuff. Don't know why I didn't though I was more than grateful.

    I'd be fired if I did...
