Epic Fail

Here is a real life email exchange that took place between a friend of mine and a co-worker(s) of such friend. I am sure at some point we have all had an awkward moment similar to this, and have all buried our hands into our face and asked yourself "What did I just do?" Regardless of your own personal blunder, you are only human [and not to mention it makes for good material for my blog and my 4 total blog readers].

Sunday is Janean’s birthday. Will everyone be here Monday for cake and carrots? If not, we can do it tomorrow. Just let me know.

I will be here tomorrow and Monday and I apologize for not getting with all of you earlier . Even though I enjoy having a good time ,parties and cake ,     due to my beliefs I do not celebrate birthdays and or any of the pagan holidays(Christmas, Halloween ,etc.) therefore I do not participate in them. there never seems to be a good time to talk about ones religious beliefs and If there are any questions regarding this please feel free on getting with me and I will do my best to explain. Thank you for respecting my stand on this , you guys have fun and enjoy !

Fyi ,  I will be taking an extended lunch tomorrow , so if you would like to plan it while I am gone that’s fine with me ! thanks

So, I feel like an idiot! I didn’t read his e-mail before I sent that.
Can I go hide in a hole now? Oy…
It doesn’t matter. Maybe Other Rando Co-worker will step and say he’ll get it.

Lesson Learned: Always read the full chain of emails in order to avoid awkward encounters at the water cooler. However Pretty funny, and I hope their office party goes off with a Bang.
