Tales from the script : another dose of stupidity

From time to time (weekly?) I get see to some rather incredibly funny things we humans do. The job is rife with it. For fun I thought I'd post this stupidity. Most of it has a lesson to it. About like the old Aesop's fables do. Usually in the form of life slapping you hard enough that we actually listen.
So for amusement may I present to you this weeks ignorance.

The following is an actual email I received awhile back. It is from our consultant we had recruited for a nice paying role ( paid her around 60 hr). She obviously did not mean for us to get it.

I promise I did not make this up

See if you can find the more than 2 reasons to show her the door.

The names have been changed to protect the stupid.

Hey girly,

Sorry I didn't get you when you called my cell yesterday morning. I was on the other line with my son. I was at my desk but he got long winded.

Oh gosh, I shouldn't of drank those two margaritas at lunch. I met with Belinda from (Professional Group) and she and I love Mexican food.

Well I'm working at "XXXX Company" and it's going ok I guess? I'm so glad I'm not with that other company that let me go. They were so strict. They didn't like me checking my email or surfin the net. I brought in fresh baked stuff for them. Luckily I was looking for another job anyway.

Here they don't really care. I'm prepared in case they too want to ask me to go. I can shop for christmas and I don't have to do so much at home with the computer.

So let's meet for dinner sometime and catch up? Email me back.

Miss You,

Jude

Another great example of an employee that aspires greatness. She is clearly showing you great signs of an employee with stellar time management skills and planning (she was shopping for christmas gifts 3 weeks early)

I wonder how many employees across the country are sending emails like this with 'reply all' or with the autofill in outlook and sending it to the wrong person.

This was fun reading.
