I was trying to send a "stream of Consciousness" memo/note/email to the managing partner who is on vacation and may be checking her emails....It was a "FYI" or for your information..... It was short and to the point, for which I am grateful. I ended up sending it to the person it was about! Can you believe it. As soon as I hit "send" I knew it. I then sent a second email to the person, saying....."just kidding".... he replied "no problem"......

Here is what my email said: "I don't care for THS' laugh, at all"...... and I sent it to THS! I guess it could have been a lot worse, but I feel so stupid. It has really taught me a big lesson about emailing "emotions" at work and to co-workers. Thank goodness I didn't go all out about how his laugh is driving me nuts. There are other things about him that don't make for a nice working environment, but he probably feels the same way about me. I have made a point to send him other emails and chat with him, to engage him, if you will, so he will forget that I ever emailed that to him. My guess is that he is soooo much into himself, that he didn't even notice that the email was about him, rather than to him.

Anyone else ever shot themselves in the foot at work?

Ugh.
