Wha?

Did you ever get an email from someone and wonder if they were drunk when they sent it?

I have one of those in my inbox right now. It's work related. I'm sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out what this person is talking about. I called my immediate supervisor. "Am I missing something?" I said to him, as he picked up the call which had been forwarded to his cell phone so very nicely early in the am.

Since he was dressing and not near a PC he has no idea if I'm missing something or not. He's looking in to it. I'm resisting the urge to respond to this very high-level person who sent the original email until I talk to mid-level guy. I'm holding off because I'm sure my reply of "Huh? What the hell?" is going to get me in trouble.

I had a post recently about how you can't really tell the true meaning of some written matter, and so you must give the benefit of the doubt to that person until you can talk to them face to face - or on the phone. He/she may have had a brain freeze....LOL

Michele sent me.

I get those all the time...I wonder what people are THINKING when they write? Probably multitasking and not paying attention to the things being written.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!
