Something Stupid I Did Today...

...and for some reason, it makes me feel better to share these things with others...


So, I received an e-mail at work today from someone above me (someone I correspond with quite often on projects, but he is a "boss" type, though not my boss). The e-mail was to everyone in the company, and it included an incentive program for a project our site was ahead on.

The incentive listed for our particular site was sort of a slap in the face to the work that our particular site had done on this project as we have had to cover for a lot of other sites. So, I jokingly responded to the person who sent the e-mail about the incentive based upon our work (he knows how much we've had to do to cover). I put a little smiley face at the end, indicating it was a joke, and I didn't think the comment was over the top or critical...

BUT.

Apparently someone else at our site was a bit miffed at the incintive e-mail as well and responded to the ENTIRE company, including the CFO, etc...I am not sure what the comment said, but needless to say, my comment was not appreciated in light of the chaos caused by the other employee...who, by the way, had already left for the day when my supervisor received the phone call from the CFO regarding the comment made by said employee...

I have a really big mouth...or, I guess I should've thought before I typed!!!

I guess I am lucky that it wasn't me who accidentally( or purposely) hit the "reply all" button...but I still feel like a scolded puppy with my tail between my legs...
