One of those rare occasions
July 26, 2008I am writing this post to commemorate one of those rare occasions where I actually join the rest of humanity in the making of mistakes.
OK, whatever. They aren’t rare occasions.
Anyway… I’m still laughing at myself for this one.
Around 3:15 AM on Wednesday night, I was going about my job as usual in the bookstore. I noticed that we were completely out of an EGS CD and sent a quick email to Mandy to order more.
The CD that we needed was 7.13.08.
The CD I ordered was 9.23.08.
Not even close.
I got a simple response from Mandy, saying: “I think that this date hasn’t happened yet. I could be wrong…”
I laughed so hard. And I’m laughing again.
What happened to my brain?
That is a great response.
Perhaps it was prophetic – You should probably order the 9.23.08 CD’s too – just in case…
