Iris: something got fucked up at work today, and it wasn't my fault
Iris: but people think it was my fault
Iris: it's maddening
Iris: I would much rather fuck something big up and have everybody know than have people think I fucked up something I didn't
Iris: even something tiny
Iris: like a snail
Dan: Was it in fact your fault?
Iris: NO
Dan: I won't tell anyone if it is.
Iris: most of them realize it by now
Iris: kind of dimly, like animals
Iris: but the ill will lingers
Dan: If it were me I'd just figure I deserved it, as comeuppance for some trivial mistake I made once that went unnoticed.
Iris: !
Iris: the person who ACTUALLY fucked up sent out an email
Iris: acknowledging his wrongdoing
Iris: now I can go back down to a normal level of rage
Dan: Great! It always surprises me when people are able to own up to mistakes.
Iris: WAIT
Iris: this email was only sent to ME
Iris: unatbeuhvarth jklvjnhklvDVjXDN,KVAE HKLJARG HKLARGV JHKLRGARGARGVJHKL
Dan: Forward it to everyone.
Dan: Make it look like an accident.
Iris: good idea
Dan: "Thanks for acknowledging that, but don't worry about it. We all make little mistakes from time to time." [CC: Everybody]
Dan: It's a bit passive agressive.
Iris: it is...
Iris: I'll just have to make it more active
Iris: ok
Iris: I sent it out
Iris: but I changed your text a bit
Iris: to
Iris: NOW EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR SHAME LELAND
