Ghoulish Johnson is right! Thanks, GD.

I think this is one of those times where I'm supposed to be telling myself 'It ain't you, let it go' but my people pleasing side is telling me 'But someone HATES you. You need to fix that!'

Getting over this impulse is the next vital step in your question to flawlessly Alex someone.

If he's pissed you did a reply-all suggest he learns what the BCC line in his email client is for.

If he's pissed that you make him look like a ninny, a bit of introspection on his part is in order.



Have you received any comments from the recipients you emailed?

Two "Out of Office" replies and three "Right on, Brad!" emails.

If they hate you, then they are stupid. And there ain't no way to fix stupid.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Eh, the two "Out of Office" sound like the type of people who take more vacations than you, not much worth your time anyway. Pricks.

"Flawlessly Alexing someone" sounds like something that should have been addressed at the Geneva Convention.

It's a LoT meme - to Alex someone. I like it!

And GC, I know what you mean about being a people pleaser. I too struggle with that.

It's kinda hard to deal with sometimes.
I blame it on my upbringing. My dad was a cop and made it clear to everyone that he made no mistakes whatsoever. And both parents were the model Catholic couple at their church. So, lots of times, all eyes were on us (at least on Sundays) to act like pristine Precious Moments figurines without flaws.
