I’d like to introduce you to my art. The collection is called I fucking hate my fucking life and I hope you hate yours too.
Now let me ask you a question – if you were a boss and noticed your minion made a typo, would you a) realize it was a typo and fix it yourself or b) send a screen shot of the typo so that said minion can fix it themselves. I would just fix it myself because it takes more effort to print screen and send. And because it’s a fucking typo and there is no learning involved in this. But that’s just me. I’m simple.
Seriously – tell me what you would do.
hi | get comfy | stay awhile | meet... 
I wouldn’t let it get to me; especially to the point where I would write a blog post about it.
But that’s just me
and i wouldn’t read a post about it, much less comment. but that’s just me.
thanks for visiting. 🙂
by the way – you didn’t answer the question.
It depends on whether you are ready to be fired. If not, make the correction and send it back with a “sorry” note.
Then try to get your boss in a position where they have to get past you in tight quarters. When they brush up against you, run to HR and file a complaint. You will be protected from retaliation.
Then the next time douche head sends you something trivial, run to HR screaming “retaliation!”
See how useful HR really is?
i would fix the typo if i was the man. if i were you, i would slowly plan for the man’s death. perhaps by a stapler accident. perhaps a loose phone cord strategically placed along the doorway into his office. get creative.
in other news. i, like you, really do hate my life. i feel like i am bill murray and murphy’s law is my groundhog.
goodnight.
tannerleah – i fixed the mistake but i rather get fired than stoop to such a level.
val – while i understand why you hate life, you are no longer allowed to complain about it since you do so from the comforts of your room.
wah.
I’d beat him over the head repeatedly with a webster’s dictionary while yelling “HOW DO YOU SPELL OSMOSIS!!!”
But that’s just me. I’m a post-modern management sort of guy
Some advise from a professional health care worker…
I strongly recommend you injure your head/back at work with a planed but very well acted fall, your next step is lay on the floor and pretend you are dead, now here is the very important part, please pay close attention to the details…..lay on your back and fully extend your legs as well as your toes and flex your elbows keeping them close to your torso. This amazing little position is what we call decorticate posture in the medical world and its very very serious.
You then go online and get very familiar with the American Disabilities Act and come to work in a wheelchair. This is when all the amazing things will start to occur. They will be forced to give you more space at your little cubical at the very least, you might even end up in a private office. If they ever get out of line again with typos you just throw hissy fits about ramps, bathrooms, sinks, workspace, elevators and mention the two magic words (Handicapped and Lawyer)
Best of Luck.

I simply love it when “The Man” starts flexing like that. He’s really just making himself feel better about himself by making sure you know that he knows that you’re under his thumb. I would make it a point to fix the type-o, however I would purposefully send it back with another type-o somewhere else so that he would have to question his own proof reading ability. When said type-o returns, simply repeat the steps until he realizes that it is futile and minds a new minion to pick on.
Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions!
Ram – I had to look up osmosis because I’m stupid.
Gene – we don’t have handicapped bathrooms. Boooo. I want to sue.
Jamie – I don’t like being under anyone’s thumb, much less the mans, and so I have taken to eye rolling and huffing/puffing techniques to show just how unsatisfied I am with this behavior. It has worked I think.
In conclusion, I’ve decided to stop making typos because it’s been a while since I got a sticker for a job well done.
Yass! I hate my life..I do I do I do….So glad you hate yours too, and really, what’s the alternative, have a happy little smile for all those that crumble before a snear?
Cool stuff
