DELETE IMMEDIATELY

One day after talking with my boss, I went back to my desk and decided I needed to vent. Instead of discussing it with anyone I began, foolishly, writing an E-mail to my co-worker: "He's ticked about something again; I can't tell what because he's so passive aggressive. It's not good to hold it all in; I think one day he's going to walk through that door and machete massacre all of us." As if this isn't bad enough, I titled the E-mail "DELETE IMMEDIATELY." Now at that time, I was sending my boss about 20 E-mails a day, so naturally, when I type in the first letter of his name, Outlook mail enters the whole address in the line. So, in one quick, reflexive motion, I typed the first letter of his name, his E-mail address was entered, and I clicked 'SEND' not even thinking twice. Instantly realizing what I had done, I shot up from my chair, in a panic. It was a few minutes shy of our 11 o'clock meeting, and I was praying that either the E-mail didn't send or I could somehow intercept it. I went into his office as he's beginning to prepare for the arrival of our client; I'm scanning the room furiously for his BlackBerry. Suddenly, I hear a vibrating coming from under the desk. He slides his chair back, and I notice his BlackBerry is clipped to his belt. He takes it and says, "Joey, looks like I just got an E-mail from you."
