The Finger of God

You see a lot of videos with people getting hurt, or breaking things but you rarely see videos of good things. Of near misses. So here's one. It's like God just puts his finger down and stops things or redirects them with a breath. Cheesy, I know, but watching it that's what I felt.

Signature Oops

So yesterday I decided I would join the ranks of coffee drinkers at work, and since we only have a little hotel sized coffee machine, I volunteered for bring in one of the 4 we have at home from our wedding. I also said I'd bring in a pound of Starbucks coffee since Mama Bean gets a pound a week from work. After all of this they started calling me coffee wench, so I added it to my signature and then sent myself a message at home to remind me to bring coffee. Having my the line under my name read "IMAC Services - Coffee Wench"

This morning I'm fiddling around with some email settings and mistakenly copy the coffee wench signature into a bunch of emails I'm sending out to end users and send it away to about 10 people.

I get an e-mail back shortly thereafter saying they are glad the IT department has a sense of humor. It took me a min to figure out what he was talking about, at which point I was more than a little embarrassed. Do I let it slide? Do I send an email apologizing? What if someone takes it the wrong way? Shit, am I screwed?
So I decide to send out a quick little email just saying "Please disregard the signature in my previous email. My apologies." A couple of people wrote back with a "no problem" but otherwise I haven't heard anything. I was just scared I'd get someone bitching at me, or worse sending it to my higher-ups.

So that's my embarrassing story for the day.
