Work place tip:

[IronWing]

Our other division is hiring a bunch of people. If I didn't have kids in school, I'd be out of here in a heartbeat.

Self ownage of the year nomination, depending on the outcome.

 

[SlitheryDee]

People who spend their time sending chatty e-mails with no real content around the workplace often make slip-ups like that. No sympathy here.

Tip for the fun practical joke:

When someone sends something like that to you (putting you in a bad position if the head honchos decide to exercise their rights to view all your email), teach them a lesson: reply to them, but change their header to make it look like they sent it to everyone. In the reply, simply: "Did you really mean to send this to everyone??!"

What kind of bonehead sends an email like that on the internal email system?

I could recall something very stupid I did while I was fairly new out of college.

I was tired and replying to an email Thread from my coworkers in Tokyo. I was forwarding a mail from one friend to another friend. I believe the mail went something like this:
"He really gets around with the ladies, huh?"
Well, I was using Auto-Complete and instead of sending it to Patrick Flannery I sent it to Patrick Flahtery.

Turns out he was the Managing Director for another department. I literally had a heart attack, and being out of college and new I thought I would get fired so I replied to the email apologizing to him about it. I was sweating bullets for the entire week thinking that my Managing Director was going to call me in his office and have a talk. Luckily nothing happenned.

I never heard back from the guy who I emailed either. I wonder if he even saw the email.

Oh and not to recall the countless times I've sent emails about going out to drink to David Shah instead of David-A Shah. The poor ah heck would constantly get caught in the middle of a email chain between a group of people multiple times just because he had a similar name to one of my coworkers. And we are talking about upto 50-60 emails a day talking about things from work to where the best place to get a drink would be.
