The Joy of Being Part of a Brotherhood

Reporting from Off Scene

I was using the computer at the station to check my emails quickly.  After I finished checking, I quickly left the office to get back to station routine.  Unfortunately, I forgot to close and sign off from my Outlook Express.

The next day, as I was leaving the station, I got a call from an acquaintance, a girlfriend of someone that I have been seeing. She started yelling at me about how much of a jerk I was and how I don't appreciate Rachel.. yadda yadda yadda.

"And why would you write an email like that anyway? Rachel was devastated!" she yelled some more.

"What...???" I asked.

"You know, the email you sent the other day?"

What the hell is this she-devil screeching about? I didn't send Rachel any email the other day.

Unless... Oh no!!

I ran back to the office, turned on the computer and opened up my Outlook Express.  I looked under the sent items folder and read the following email, which was written and sent a few minutes after I had left the office:

Rachel;
Don't like you any more.  Stop emailing me.

Real funny guys.

I didn't log off/sign off, which allowed others to access my emails.  Around here, when there's an opportunity, we cease the moment.  Just wasn't my day.

I do stupid things so you can all learn from my mistakes.
