What can you do but laugh?

Yesterday was just a rough day of work and I was called on to send several important communication pieces to a lot of people throughout the organization without a lot of time to really craft my thoughts. By 5:00 my brain was fried, but one final email had to be sent. I was nervous about the state of my brain so I asked a co-worker to read over it before I hit the send button of no return.

Next time I'll have someone else proof my important emails. Can you catch the mistake in the excerpt? I bet you can...along with every NavPress employee, Student Life employee, and my boss who received it.What can you do? Sometimes you just have to laugh it off. Remember that one time I referred to our department's "incontinence" in an email sent to half our employees? Yeah, good times.

To add to the comedy of my morning, I received the following phone call
Ring, ring ring...
Me: This is Danielle.
Guy: Is this a real human being?
Me: Umm....yes it is. Can I help you with something?
Guy: Yeah, I have some questions about my services.
Me: Umm...I think you have the wrong number. This is The Navigators, a nonprofit in Colorado Springs. Who are you trying to reach?
Guy: Waste Management. Do you know what that is?
Me: Yes sir I do. I'm sorry, but I think you have the wrong number.
Guy: Well, I don't know how the hell I got you, but now that I have you I'm going to tell you my problem anyway... continues to talk about the waste management company sending him "pornographic paraphernalia"...I just don't know what to do. What do you think? Should I call the police?
Me: I don't really know what to tell you. I'm sorry I can't help you.
Guy: Well, that's ok. I feel better about it.
Me: Have a great day.
