today i had another one of my brilliant moments. i signed a card for someone who is being promoted and is transferring to another store. i don't know this person, but i thought i have heard people in my department talking about him and that he used to work in my department, but he transferred departments or left or something shortly before i started. i was trying to be like everyone else and say something other than congratulations, so i just mentioned too bad i just missed working with him. unfortunately, there are two people with the same first name that i got confused, the one i was thinking of actually left the store completely when he left my department, so this is someone else...that i never would have worked with. so i scribbled all that out with the big blue sharpie i was using and made a mess. then i covered it with white out because it looked so bad. i almost put in parentheses over it (this is what someone really thinks of you), but since i don't know this guy, i don't know if he has a sense of humor...so i just avoided making it worse and added (on your promotion) after congratulations. i also mentioned someone else's good idea to the store manager like i said i would, and for some reason, that was a mistake too, "like i can't speak for myself!" make up your mind.madame le professeur at 7:53 PM
