Oops! Compute With Care

Every now and again, we all make silly blunders. This happened today and I felt it was a good humour story worth sharing.
10.26am ~ the following email message entitled 'Hi there' arrived in my inbox:
I think your sexy!
12.00pm ~ then this follow-up message:
To all Officers
I must apologize for the recent email that was sent entitled 'Hi there'. It was not intended to go out and was not meant to be offensive in any way.
I am currently in a training course on i-notes that is being run at THQ. We were learning how to send messages to other computers and so I sent a short note to my wife. I was advised that the computers in the training room were not connected to the rest of the (territorial) system. Unfortunately they are, and that message was sent out to all active officers.
I apologize profusely for any offense taken or if this email has hindered your work in any way.
May God bless the rest of our day.
LOL ~ no offence taken, but there was alot of laughter! And, by the way, God did indeed bless the rest of our day.

1 Corinthians 10:11 (MSG) ~ "These are all warning markers—danger!—in our history books, written down so that we don't repeat their mistakes. Our positions in the story are parallel—they at the beginning, we at the end—and we are just as capable of messing it up as they were. Don't be so naive and self-confident. You're not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it's useless. Cultivate God-confidence."
