I once again find myself on this blog… Anyone want to smack me upside the head is more than welcome.
I extracted all the relevant information to create our tax certificates, I pulled the info into the mail merge, I printed almost 1500 pages, we started signing the certificates…
S: Ummm, ladies, the date is last year, you have to redo them…
Me: FFS! *slams head on desk and starts all over again*
R needs to send an email to a bank. She calls me to help her set up a delivery and read receipt. In the process of doing this the following conversation takes place.
Me: Put in the email address.
R (mumbling while she is typing the address): s. a. n. d. o. w. n. b. m. BM must be branch manager. at. bankname. dot. co. dot. za.
R: How do I know it will go to the right branch?
Me: It has the branch name in the email address.
R: Oh, but how will I know it will go to her? The branch manager?
Me: Because this is her address, the one she gave you…
R: But it doesnt have her name in it?
Me: It doesnt have to, it’s her address, I promise it will go to her.
R: Ok, because I want *her* to reply to me.
W gets a missed call on her phone from home. She picks up her work phone and dials. She puts down and dials again. Again she puts down. She looks at me and says…
W: You wont believe what I did.
Me: What?
W: I just dialed my work number… Twice!
Doh!
