Essential work emails

Last week, I was in a serious panic trying to finish a presentation for my boss. I sat at my desk, surrounded by sticky notes and half-empty coffee cups, drafting what I thought was a brilliant email summarizing the project. In my rush, I hit send without proofreading, and only moments later did I realize I had mistakenly written, “Attached is the important word emails,” instead of “important work emails.”
To make matters worse, autocorrect had transformed “word” into “bird,” so my boss received an email titled “Attached is the important bird emails.” Now, every time we discuss project updates, I can’t help but picture my boss meticulously reading through a flock of animated, chirping emails that were apparently flying around in my inbox. At least I provided some entertainment during our Monday meeting!
