not-OK button

i'm supposed to be busy. but since my mind is on weekend mode already, and the potential damage i can wreck if i mess my work exceeds that of the acceptable, i decided na sa monday na lang ako magtatrabaho ulet. umuwi na ang mga techleads ko, so petiks na ko ngayon.

yesterday, i attended a hands-on training in using our intranet portal. i'm familiar with most of the features, pero i just want to know more. during the training, we created sample documents, calendar events and stuff. they told us there's a new feature. you can send a notification to people when you update something. i wasn't paying attention, instead, i was exploring the feature.

by now you probably know what happened. yes, i accidentally clicked on "All Catalina Users", and clicked "OK" a little too fast. a pop up window displayed... "cannot send to group name, individual emails will be sent to members of this group instead."

there was no "Cancel" button, just "OK". so even if it's not OK, i HAVE to click it. i slowly raised my hand, and when the trainer's attention is on me, i said meekly and slowly, with a silly smile on my hot face, "i think i just sent an email notification... to everybody!".

*sigh*

she opened her mouth in terror, with bulging eyes that seem to say "stupid!". then managed to smile at me, and reassuringly said they know a training is going on anyways, so they might be just ignoring those emails. a senior lady beside me sweetly said something like, "i'll look for your name on the term(ination) list soon". comforting. it's a good thing i didn't put anything weird in there, like "harbie's here", or "dwyane wade rocks!", or something similar. it was a formal "Test Notification." on the body of the email. for all we know, they might have thought i'm with the email support group who's doing some testing. hehehe!

oh well, i cannot undo it. the brighter side of it is, it's gonna be an interesting topic to start a conversation. =P
