.....or I Should DUH Saids
Bit of a truth of dare. Dare: Admit what you said or wrote by not thinking things through by whatever (content, punctuation, context grammar, etc.). Truth: What you meant to say or wished you had.....even and especially if you held back ( a Boss, too harsh for situation, words were a few seconds too late, yada). These 2 definitions may be completely backwards. |

One Friday in the early days of the inter-web I was trying to answer a client in the affirmative, that I had received her electronic file. In a ready for weekend hurry I emailed “GO T!+ !!” instead of “Got it!”..........one of my more horrifying professional experiences !!!
Luckily after the longest 90 seconds EVER, her reply was, “Haha Great, and glad you are a fan. Have a nice weekend.” |

Hello beach farmer.
Hopefully OT but not written communication I blundered at, but verbal over team chat live on my laptop. So I was in a big meeting with bosses, going over some material. I was side chatting on the phone with a coworker/friend about the meeting. I had opened my mike to ask a question. Their answer greatly pleased me and I yelled F-ING HALLELUJAH!!! I thought I muted the team meeting & yelled to my friend also in the meeting but also on a live call with me. Everyone heard it though. The lady just kind of giggled & moved on. Another coworker texted me and said did you just say that? laughing her *** off. So unprofessional & embarrassing. |
