I'm worried.
During my second day of work I wrote a hurried email to a guy who's in charge of a tour company. Up until now, there has only been one email for the entirety of the company: robert@cityfoodtours.com. This means that when any other employee (namely the Private Events Manager - me) responds to an email, s/he has to sign the email with Robert's name. Otherwise, it just looks odd. And would probably lead to the people on the receiving end of the emails getting confused and wondering about the legitimacy of things. Of course, I put the legitimacy of things into question in my own way.
I totally misspelled Robert's last name.
Turns out that "Weinberg" is NOT spelled "W-E-I-N-B-U-R-G."
I'm not sure what I was thinking. Or what my fingers were thinking. I didn't even realize that I'd done it until a couple of days later when I was going back through emails to make sure that I'd sent messages to everyone to whom I needed to send messages.
Now I'm paranoid every time I log into the email because I am concerned that there is going to be an email from the tour company guy being like, "Hi, Robert, I'd like to give you a call to discuss an email I received from your address. When is a good time for you?" And then I will be so busted and Robert will probably be all, "Wtf." And he might actually say, "What the fuck."
I don't actually know how I did it. I KNOW that "Weinberg" is not spelled with a "u." Perhaps my brain switches to phonetic mode when it is tired. If you operate off of that understanding, then the "u" almost makes sense. It might have also been right around lunchtime.
When it is around lunchtime, I generally get brain dead and make silly mistakes.
P.S. I am on a bad posting run - this one hardly counts and I keep missing days. I'm trying really hard not to, so I hope to improve SOON. SORRY!
This is George. He comes out when there is something to frown about. In this case, my negligence regarding posting.
