To log off ‘sick’ from work…

Light hearted but I need to share my embarrassment in the hope you can make me feel a bit better!

I’m helping to organise some of the work Christmas events. As part of this there’s volunteering opportunities and we always support a local Church.

Anyway, I sent an email in a hurry before I logged off yesterday summarising the plans and volunteering opportunities.

I thought I’d said ‘would anyone like to volunteer to help out with the ringing’

What actually was sent was ‘would anyone like to volunteer to help out with the rimming’

By the time I logged on at 9.30 today after a medical appointment most of the department will have seen it!! I’ve recalled it but the damage is done.

AIBU to log off and hide under my bed covers…

See it as you having done your bit to raise moral at work, by causing all your colleagues to laugh uproariously and giving them something to chortle about for the rest of the week.

Sorry this has killed me🤣🤣. I can imagine how mortified you must feel but you need to just own it and don’t let others sense your fear iyswiw and that’ll help you play it off, even if that means laughing to your colleagues saying something like “oh my god don’t get me started I am so embarrassed” and the embarrassment will eventually settle x

Oh gods OP you need to quit, change your name and move to a far away country.

Mortified for you 😂

Well...on the upside you might find there's more volunteers than usual😆
