no, i'm not talking directly to you. you see that "auto reply" in my subject line?

this isn't hysterical, but made me laugh nonetheless. while i was out on friday, this e-mail came to me:

We received a package sent by US Postal Service Priority Mail from your office addressed to : ThisStudent @ ThisCollege. We are unable to identify this person. Could you help us attempt delivery of this package by emailing any additional information you might have about the package or the recipient?

my auto reply said:

I am out of the office until Monday, August 29. Please call xxx.xxx.xxxx for help from another staff member, or e-mail @ blahblahblah. Thanks!

and this woman replied with "Monday will be fine."

i kept looking at it and all i can think is surely she didn't think i was typing to her from my vacation. but i think she surely did. i don't know, maybe she just replied so i'd see it when it got back, but it still seemed funny as i've never received a chatty reply to my out of office blurb.

and, and even better e-mail exchange w/ one of my performers regarding a wedding reception cancellation on a date that's in two weeks and was booked in february:

i said:

DumbFuckGroom is canceling the date. He said, "Oh, my bad. I
didn't think it was a big deal about the contract since we hadn't signed
it and sent it back to you." Sorry about that.
