On Thursday I sent a six “to do” list to Mr. BIL of things that we needed to get done by Friday. Needless to say we only did half of two items. So Friday evening I sent the following email:
From: Jaynee

To: Mr. BIL
Subject: RE: TO DO FOR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9Okay, we HAVE to do [name removed] and [name removed] on Monday. And if possible, [name] and [name].
We’ve made headway on bills and invoices.
This morning I came into the office and upon opening my email, I found this in my inbox:
Jaynee:
If you would improve on the attitude a little bit, I might become more cooperative. You Northerners are all sooo pushy.
Down South, we put it: “Mr. BIL, if you could be so kind as to assist me in getting these items off my to do list this coming Monday, I would be most appreciative of your efforts. I certainly appreciate the splendid work you did this week, despite your being out on a frolic the first part of the week.”
Mr. BIL
I like your boss. 🙂
LOL
Your boss is adorable.
That’s great! Quite accurate too!
“Out on a frolic”? How very…continental? 🙂
Absolutely priceless. 🙂
Stacy – I laughed at that line too.
How funny is that!!
I can’t wait to meet the guy since he’s supposed to be like Beau.
