Work: The witching hour

The witching hour

By Donny - 04/08/2011 20:49 - United States

Today, severely tired and pulling an all-nighter, I was editing documents at work. Eventually the words blurred together and "which" began to look funny, so I corrected them. I realized too late that I'd turned in the company's brochure with every "which" spelt as "witch". FML

Today, I was so tired at work that I typed out "wherehouse" instead of "warehouse" in a document shared with my co-workers. It took me several seconds to realize why the heck the spell checker had underlined "wherehouse" in red. FML

Today, I spent ages writing a draft press release as part of a copywriting job application. I worked really hard and read it through several times before submitting. They emailed me to point out that I'd misspelled the name of the company. Twice. FML

Today, while not feeling well at work, I had to finish up some papers. I was so out of it, I couldn't remember how to spell my name. I had to improvise by pronouncing each syllable of my name out loud. My boss now thinks I'm a dumbass. FML

Today, I was writing my rough draft of an essay, and I forgot how to spell a word. I waited for auto correct to help. I was writing on paper. FML

Today, I was writing out palm cards and didn't know if I'd spelled a word correctly, so I stared at it for about 10 seconds waiting for spell check to tell me if it was right or not before I realised I was writing on paper. FML

Today, I finished doing a resume that I had spent three hours on. I e-mailed it to the business I was applying for, satisfied. I decided to look it over. The first thing I notice, I spelt my own name wrong. FML

Today, while at work at a maternity and baby clothes store, I was supposed to send out an email about our "Beat the Clock" sale. After it was sent to over 500 people, I realized that I'd misspelled the subject line. It read, "Beat the Cock Sale." FML

Eye hate win people get words mixed up with other words that sound alike. That's why eye make shirt that eye use the write words. Eye like talking better then typing because you can here what they say without having second guesses. Eye really think it is stupid win people can make a simple sentence, not make munch cents at all. Eye hope win eye ham hold enough two have a sun, his generation would no the difference of words that sound alike.

Nobody cares how tired you are. Adult up and perform your job like a responsible human. If the military can do it, you should be able to as well.

The military is trained for those things, 92, and they still make mistakes. Which is terrifying if you ask me. they can't do everything I can do so why should I be able to do everything they do?

YDI because you just spelled "spelt"

Just so you know, Spelt is a valid English word. It's interchangeable with Spelled, just like Burnt with Burned, Learnt with Learned etc. So the next time you think of YDI-ing your way around like a bulldozer, I suggest you do some research first before making yourself sound dumb.
