Unrelated Randomness dreams and work, go figure

So I had this GREAT idea (straight from my dreams) for a game for family game night. I had so much fun playing the game in my sleep I actually woke up gleeful. And when I started thinking about the mechanics of the game I realized how stupid it was.

Basically you have a group of people, highlighters, books, and a timer. You highlight the best sections in the book and the person with the best section wins. You go around and share portions of what you highlighted. In my dream I won because I had the best section. I had one word highlighted (that I chose to share) "gab" I didn't even think that was a word. Spell checker didn't catch it so it must be, but it's sense is eluding my brain right now probably because it came from a dream.

So anyway in real life something even better happened. I had this Dudley's Pizza. The owner was Dudley. I kept thinking of my aunt's dog Dudley and everyone at work kept talking about Dudley Doo-right (or whatever). I always have to be different.

So his account was inactive. Well the chain of events goes something like this:

I think this needs to go to a different address.


So I reply back:

I've verified his address and he's ordered before?? He's had some orders in preferred accounts...

Doug calls me back and says he thinks I misunderstood his e-mail. I was supposed to send my request to activate the account to "New Customer Set Up" email NOT "New Part Number Entry" email. OOPS. I'm so used to just putting in "new" in my email I forgot to double check which one it was going to.

If you're like me and didn't notice where I sent the emails to you can scroll back up and look. I found it so amusing I forwarded it myself at home so I could tell my husband and laugh some more.


Lesson: I can't help but share the funny stuff. Laughter is the best medicine, so if you know any sick people send them my way, though I'm told not to quit my day job just yet.
