While waiting to find The World’s Most Perfect Job and for “my ship to come in” (as my grandma would say), I’ve been doing some contract work for a local attorney. I received my paycheck in the mail today and I wanted to send a “thank you” email to the billing rep for getting it to me. Here’s what the email ALMOST said to the FEMALE in charge of billing (thank god for proof reading).
I received your check in the mail today. Thanks again for getting it to me so promptly – I know you’re incredibly busty – I really appreciate it!
Did I mention that the person responsible for billing is the head honcho attorney’s WIFE?!?
Awkward.
I was trying to thank her for sending my check when I know she is so BUSY. I think it says something about me that my fingers automatically type “busty” instead of “busy”. Thank God I proof read! Honestly, I would have DIED. It reminds me of the time I worked at another law office as a secretary (*ahem* administrative assistant) and we got a resume in and it said that she had “excellent proff reading skills”. No lie. I almost called her in for an interview to be able to tell her about the typo.
I laughed for a good 30 minutes at my ALMOST faux pas. Or shall I say “faux paw”.
