The Book of Sifty

Sifty is the personification of slackness. What more can I say?

Last Saturday was the night of four parties. Only made it to two. But that was one more than I was realistically expecting to make an appearance at. All bar one were quite far flung and a bit of a major to get to.

There have been very few major really dumb things I've done with email. But I think Tuesday's effort is the most gigantically dumb thing I've ever done. Monday my friend calls me to say to say (names altered to protect the guilty)
""hey tom you know Jo? You know how I was talking to him/her at that party? Do you think you could get their phone number for me?""

So I get the number and txt it to them. A few minutes later I get back an email going.. ""actually on second thoughts I might email them..""
Thought a txt might have worked, pretty easy option, I know people who've even managed to dump people via txts. But okay.
So I'm working off site and its quite a pain to get things out of your address book. I thought I know I'll type in as much of the address as I know and it will complete the rest. I enter the name into CC field, it completes to the targets full email address. Cool I cut it out of the CC field and paste into the body of the mail. Cool wouldn't want to CC the person whos being setup would I.. that would be dumb.

A couple of minutes later I get a mail back from the person whose address I was handing out. ARRGH!!! Fuck me. I must have copied rather than cutting it!! GNNGH!! I'd cc'd them on the email from my friend asking for thier email address.
Still they were remarkably cool about it. I confessed to the whole thing and asked them to be surprised when they got a call from my friend.
