My story ’s from years ago at my first job at a production company in Los Angeles .
We ’d just drive home a smirch to a client and they kept emailing me for copies of the spot . I should ’ve manoeuver them to our production assistant but instead I forwarded their email to my boss with something like “ When are we done with this stupid project ? This dunderhead keeps bug me about dubs . ”
I walk into my boss ’s part a minute later and involve “ did you get my email ? ”
He looked at his silver screen but did n’t see it .
“ freshen it or something . I just mail it . ”
He did . Several metre . Still nothing .
“ Hang on . Maybe it did n’t send . ” I walked back to my desk and search at the “ sent ” subject matter . I pressed response instead of onward and now the node had my email .
I ran back to my boss ’s office and excuse . I was sure I was going to be fired but he cover for me and babble out to the node himself to say “ Eric is kind of an idiot and keep open about 50 windows undecided on his computer . He was think of another client and , again , he ’s an idiot . I ’ll make certain you get those transcript . ”
The client seemed to bribe it , I kept my job , and now I do n’t send a work - related electronic mail without triple checking where it ’s going first . So gain / win / win ?
