A buddy of mine at work was gearing for a wedding next month. A year or so in planning. Cool. I wasn't invited but I understood. It comes to light that the fiance' got cold feet last week, left their co-habitat,and called off the wedding.

Rhythm is a Dancer!

A mutual friend goes to the admin people for my department and says 'hey - do not send out a card for the wedding, and email about it, or what ever.. it has been postponed'. The snooty admin people affirm and the weekend happens.

I get to work today to get this giant email to the whole department:

" is getting married!!! IT.Administration has a card for everyone to sign. We are also taking donations for a gift card for the happy couple. You will all have until October 16th to come down, sign the card and donate $$ if you’d like. "

Oh shit. Really? I was pleased it was back on again! Then I started thinking..ah.. what if it was a mistake. Sure enough the claim was "my bad I forgot to delete the auto email that was supposed to be sent Friday but instead was sent Tuesday and it shouldn't have been sent at all.". So wait.. not only did you screw up the date it was supposed to be sent but you neglected to DELETE IT after someone told you that it was postponed because the ten seconds was too much for something this delicate? Arg!
