Oh god. I can’t believe I just hit
‘Send.’ How can I have hit send just like that? They should ask you every time
if you are sure want to send the message. I’m sure the few times when that
saves someone’s ass would totally outweigh the time when it’s a pain. Crap. I
wonder if the ‘undo’ button works. Sometimes I think that then only half the
message sends and you end up looking even stupider. I’m not really sure that
makes sense.
Okay, so you’re the assistant of
partner at a major law firm and you just sent an email to a competing firm
containing all of the notes from the meeting with the client. Let’s think about
this rationally. Step one… step one should be telling my boss? Telling someone
more sympathetic? Asking for advice? Calling the assistant at the competing
firm? Going over there and crying to her face? Make up a story about a bad day
and that you broke up with your boyfriend this morning? Maybe spill coffee down
your shirt on the way over there. Just for some authenticity. That might not be
a bad more. Right?
Alright. Deep breaths. In. Out.
What was in those notes? Was it anything truly vital? Anything case changing? I
don’t think so, but that’s why I’m not the actually lawyer. I’m going to get
fired over this if I don’t fix it. There’s no question about it. I feel like I
want to throw up right now.
New email. There can’t possibly be
a reply already. Wait. Mail delivery system. Delivery to the recipient failed.
I typed it in wrong! It didn’t send. Thank god… I’m going to need another manicure.
