I have done some really stupid stuff in the past but this tops them all...

I started the new job on Monday and so far so good until today.

The owner of the company hands me a list of leads in the medical industry that he has been in contact with over the last 6 months and wanted me to follow up.  Sounds easy enough?  That is what I thought.

I was listening to some old Sheryl Crow motoring along and feeling good about my progress when I get a reply from a decision maker at a certain company that I will fake title, Southwest Regional Prostate Institute for this blog only.

The first line was filled with

:) :) :) :) :) :) :)

To myself, I am thinking that is not really the response I am looking for but, whatever.  I read father down.

Ms. Hill:

Thank you for your email, I must admit that it made me smile this afternoon.  Please re-read your message and reply.  Then, we can talk business.

Mr. Medical President

I am thinking WTF did I write?  I have emailed some stupid shit in the past and one time even told a vendor that "I love you" at the end of a message because I was talking to my husband on the phone while typing but I know that I would never repeat that mistake.  Nervously I read the subject line which is fine but the first line read:

"Are you looking to upgrade the current technology at Southwest Regional Prostitute Institute?

Now how one can confuse the words "Prostate" and "Prostitute" are unknown but I did it.  See the photographs if you, yourself are unclear.

Prostate

Prostitute

I felt about 2.5 inches tall but when I called the very nice Medical President to apologize.  He actually took it very well and said that I was not the first to make the typo but it has been a while.

I am working on day 3 and I make this mistake?  What is going to happen in 3 months?  I bet I substitute "infrastructure" for "in-FUCKstructure".  WOWZA!
