Nan Patience made a good point in a comment. Since my golf gets worse the more I play, she suggests that I would be fabulous if I didn't play at all. She may be on to something. Maybe I can just ride along with the Seafood King and Some Guy Named Bob and tell them how I would do it, if I was actually golfing. Plus that would be way cheaper.
Speaking of being fabulous, it turns out that my boss thinks I am awesome and that is better than fabulous. The reason I know this is that she gave me a thank you card for going above and beyond at work. The card read in part, "You're awesome!" So it must be true.
Unless it's not true, because she also posted a mistake I made on the employee bulletin board, for the world to see. Talk about your mixed messages.
The mistake was this. I ordered something for a customer and gave her a pickup date. Unbeknownst to me, I missed some deadline or another for ordering and the item didn't arrive on time. It will be three days late.
The boss already told me all of this, but she evidently felt the need to post the offending order form on the bulletin board, perhaps in case I had forgotten. She wrote, "Must be in by 2PM!", across the form. I wrote, "OK!!" on it, so she would be sure that I understand and that I take this gaffe seriously. I'm glad that's cleared up, it would be a shame were this to scar my permanent record.
Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky

It's all good then!
So the "this will go down on your permanent record" quote would not be appreciated? Or would it?
Well, now you really know......
Your boss sounds like a head trip, don't know how you can stand it.
Your boss sounds like every boss I've ever had.
u haf a nitpicky boss
Was it obvious to others that it was your mistake? It would be fine to post something on the bulletin board to educate other workers, but not if they could tell it was your mistake.
