Ok, I have to address this issue, as it may become serious.
A few weeks ago, one of my colleagues sent out an e-mail apologizing for a schedule change. "Sorry for the incontinence," was how she worded it.
Now today, a few minutes ago, I got another e-mail message from a different colleague apologizing for a problem with the servers, "sorry for any incontinence."
People - what you caused was an inconVENIence. An InconTINence deals with the inability to hold one's bladder. Got it?
Another work thing:
We have two new housekeepers in the building. Our regular housekeeper has been out on medical leave for the better part of the last year and now we finally have a replacement to clean our bathrooms and remove the contents of our wastebaskets. One lady has been doing an excellent job of maintaining the bathrooms, getting them cleaned before we start arriving at 7:45 AM or so. The other lady...well...she bothers me. She is an incredibly huge woman, probably 325 or so, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone move so slow. Her every motion and gesture is in ultra slow motion. She comes up to empty the trash around 2PM, but she's also snailing her way down the hall some mornings when I come in. How much trash does she think we create? Plus, most people leave their wastebaskets in the hall, so why does she need to unlock every office door and walk in? I just don't like it.
