Hi Body and Soul

Personal Life these days:

Have you heard of Snapdeal, Dealivore, kooves etc? Yeah right…sites which you can use to get things for yourself without making your hubby’s temper loose on the amount you spend :P

There was a deal from Body and Soul offering Fish Pedicure…something I was longing for since a long time. I took the deal a week back and thought of taking an appointment this weekend.
I am a happy soul…a relaxing weekend including pampering oneself! What else could I ask for :)

Professional Life these days:

Working as Business Analyst for our business Partners based in Europe. Daily interactions with clients, some documentation, some testing and lots of complaints these days as things are not working they were suppose to.
And yes…I hate Lotus Notes. Outlook was so much better (An inspiration to write this blog)  :-/

Read on for the explaination---

One Fine day (Today):

I am in office jotting a mail to Nicolas:

Hi Nicolas

This is not working that is not working 

blah blah blah…
So I am blocked and cant work.

Thank you!
Garima

‘Send Mail’

Meanwhile, Ravi pings me on gtalk:(By the way, galk is the best thing I like in my office :))

RV: Did not get an appointment for this weekend

Me: body and soul?

But unfortunately, I saw my message was not displayed in the chat window…then where the hell did it go?

The Horror Show begins:

I realized immediately, that this stupid Lotus Notes was performing the Spell Check before sending the mail and it had highlighted the word “Nicolas” for me to correct. Ofcourse…dictionary could not have his name.

To add to the climax, my mail had no other spelling mistake…

Any guesses guys????

Yeah!!!

The mail which was sent to Nicolas was:

Hi body and soul?

This is not working that is not working 

blah blah blah…
So I am blocked and cant work.

Thank you!
Garima

:( :( :’(

Bu hu hu hu

Yeah ofcourse…it was marked to lots of people.

Subak subak :’(

Ok! What can I do next…

Ah! The recall feature and a big sigh of relief! :)

Nicolas being in a different time zone would login only after an hour.

Manager and TL both standing over my head wondering how could I do it???

AND...guess wat?? The Lotus Notes version we are using does not have Recall option!!!

Can you believe that?????

M dead meat!

And laughing stock for the entire team.
