To-do in 2009:  Take back control of my email inbox.  It’s out of control.

The other day at work, I sent an email out to an advisor apologizing for any inconvenience I may have caused him with a delay in the task he needed me to do.  But, I spelt inconvenience wrong.  Spell checker did pick it up, and I quickly clicked the ‘change’ button within it to correct the spelling.

Little did I know that it change my misspelled inconvenience to incontinence.  And I realized this about five minutes after I sent the message out.

I’ll admit; I had no idea what incontinence meant so I looked it up.  A few seconds later, I realized I was apologizing for the advisor being unable to restrain his feces and urine.

Do you know what pisses me off?

When you email someone a question, and only a question, and they get back to you with an answer that has absolutely nothing to do with your question.  Hello!  Did you read my email!

Update: I just did the exact same thing to Brian, woops!
