In any event, today at work, I felt rewarded for that curiosity. I'm on a few local professional listserves
where members can post questions to the collective for discussion. Depending on
the day and how busy I am, I don't monitor the listserve posts too closely.
And, today was no different, I hadn't paid any attention to the posts until I received the email titled "FW: PLEASE
DISREGARD EARLIER MESSAGE NEED TO RECALL MY MESSAGE, UNINTENDED
RECIPIENTS."
The text of the email read: "PLEASE DELETE EARLIER
MESSAGE AS THIS MESSAGE WAS SENT SOLELY FOR MR **** TO READ. THIS MESSAGE WAS
NOT INTENDED TO BE READ BY ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE LISTSERV. I REALLY
APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED ANYONE."
So, of course, I had to investigate
further to figure out what had been said that warranted such an email. The
first portion of the email chain was meaningless drivel about some topic of
marginal interest to the group. Then, Mister "Please Disregard"
responded to a message sent by an apparent acquaintance and instead of simply
replying to the message, hit "reply all." My favorite parts of his
"reply all" email was his admission
that his career is "not a pleasurable experience at times" with the
specifics being that it "feels like you are putting parts of your anatomy
in a vice grip and if it is not your own client pulling down its your
colleagues." Whoopsy!
