It fits that it would occur at the end of a long, stressful week. The best advice I ever had about making an error is to sincerely apologize and then let it go. We all make mistakes, even bosses. I hope this week was a better one. Elaine, this or something like it has happened to all of us at one time or another. It fits that it would occur at the end of a long, stressful week.

But the bottom line is, I agree with your premise. I read that the government is saving money now by printing on two sides of the paper. Maybe that would be more economical. And with the age of the population going up, I think it's better to use at least 12-point type -- not going in the opposite direction. Or we could take the somewhat tongue-in-cheek advice of Mark Twain who said we should edit ourselves by taking out every third word that we write!

You'll have to report on the face to face with your boss! Elaine – while I know you were dying, this is all really quite funny – the request, your reaction and your bosses.

My boss and husband's names both begin with Ma. I had just concluded a difficult meeting wherein my boss asked me to work an additional day a week for no additional pay. I shot off a long winded e-mail to what I thought was my husband providing him a full color commentary of the discussion, but instead, it went back to my boss. I thought I'd die.
