fun fun times

I got to use one of my favorite phrases (malice aforethought) in an e-mail today! My e-mail at work has a virus. The nice people upstairs failed to let us know that vital piece of information before we started sending e-mail this morning. So, as is my custom, I sent out an e-mail to the house church group list to let them know of the good news that one of our members got through knee surgery this morning. One person received that said e-mail 42 times. The response from those 42 e-mails follows:
For some reason, you sent me this message 42 times.
Seriously. I am glad to hear that Carolyn did well with her surgery, and I will pray for her, but probably not 42 times.

As you can imagine, I didn't receive that information quite well.
So I sent out another e-mail, this time from my personal account, to apologize and let them know there was no malice aforethought. I tried to be diplomatic and tactful.
I don't think I can contain my excitement.

That rocks. I am a fan of working fabulous words into everyday conversation and unusual references into essays. Hope all the virus problems have gone away. bugs are bad.
