Emails not going where they are intended

[Guest guest]

K and others,

I don't think I've done an email snaffu yet - but I create databases for a

living. Once, about 8 years ago, I was working on a big project and the

woman and I working on it together were slap happy and frustrated. So, as a

test record, we put in things like The Shitty Company, at address 1234 Who

Cares Lane, Poopy City, as well as a few other non-professional things (If I

remember correctly the language was worse). The report we were working on

appeared to work, and we went onto something else. Well, as you can

imagine... a different report somehow caught some of that information and

ACTUALLY went to a whole bunch of their clients. I was so embarrassed! I

have NEVER used testing words like that, EVER again. Not worth the risk.

Bobby, this also taught me to use a little more discretion on how I phrase

things too. My little mistake did NOT get any laughs. I actually shed a few

tears. It was very embarrasing for me as a consultant and embarrassing for

my client. Lesson learned.

Tammy

Hi K, it's been several years, but I was writing to a niece of mine and

raving and ranting about something, even putting in a few choice cuss words,

and sent it to a support site, instead of my niece... I was horrified

because now they would know I wasn't the nice old lady they thought I was

!!!

But not so, the few that replied to it laughed and said now they knew I was

human after all, as well as a nice " old lady. " I'm a little more careful now

, but maybe could use a little more discretion on how I phrase

things...Bobby

Hey Sister & Brother survivors. . .

I posted 'All About Me' when Amy began the Group and everyone knew 'all

about me'. . .

As for THE POST. . .I retracted in my post immediately following that one.

It was meant for a younger sister & brother survivor and 'my GOLD BRAIN' and

my 'multi-tasking' as I always do. . .In error, I forwarded the post to

myself and the Group in error; and the sister & brother survivor got the

wrong posts. . .

OH Well. . .at least I didn't REALLY put my foot in my mouth. . .hehehe. I

have learned my lesson about multi-tasking. . .because since my

hospitalization. . .I have sent several posts/emails in error to my sister &

brother survivors and buddy's. I will be slowing down and checking

everything. . .hehehe.

Take care, I have ALL in my prayers as always.
