Filtering the OOPS!

Sometimes I forget to filter what I'm thinking before it shoots out my mouth or off my fingers.


One of the bosses emailed me the other day with a simple question.


The Boss: Why does my laptop stop in the middle of my typing and then catch up 10 or 20 characters later?


I couldn't help myself. I only started hearing the warning sirens when I had clicked 'Send'.


Here was my reply:


Me: Because I'm downloading all your financial and personal information in the background.  Hold still, it'll go faster and be over quicker.  Thanks.


Some bosses have a better sense of humor then others...




What 'OOPS!' moments have you had with your boss?
