I’ve seen people use “Sorry for the inconvience” quite often, but this is a new one! It was an e-mail sign-off from a co-worker who was having problems with his computer that delayed a project he was working on.
In a dream world where I could respond to this, what should I say?
Depends.
Just about anything is fine. Just don’t get pissed about it.
C’mon, it was an honest typo. Slamming the person for it is a shitty thing to do.
Give the guy a break. He just doesn’t want to start a shitstorm.
I think he is pushing for an early release.
gigi, you started a pun thread! Man, urine for it now!
Embarrassing. Probably not the sort of thing he’d want leaked.
Mop a problem.
Or
Mop problem.
Yay! A legit pun thread, and not the kind I feel bad about adding to in GQ!
-whoa, the above just kind of spurted out without warning
Add to the note: “Do you have a wee problem?”
God, give me the Serenity to absorb the things I cannot control…
This actually happened to me in September. I was on vacation so I had a coworker filling in on some weekly reporting I do. Apparently, things didn’t go as well as they should have and he couldn’t complete the reports in time, so he sent out an email from my account that said “The weekly reports will not be out until tomorrow. Sorry for the incontinence.”
This email went out from my account to over 120 people in the company. Including Senior VP’s and Executive VP’s.
:smack:
I think I got two emails pointing out what incontinence means. I also got one email where some guy said “What reports?” Y’know … those reports I send to you EVERY WEEK.
Oh, and to add to the pun thread … ummm … his reputation around the company is for shit now.
That suggests he’s risen to his level of incontinence, otherwise known as the Peeter Principle.
A computer whiz would never have this problem.
So he should have sent something else in loo of this apology?
I’d have a hard time facing my peers if I ever did that.
Check his computer; maybe there’s a cable loose.
Maybe you should just go Pamper him.
I’ve felt like that once. I felt light-headed and needed to sit down, but no one would pass me a stool.
