Blooper
It pays to make sure the evidence are on your side before you make your accusation. I will remember that. I wrote a nasty email to a colleague in a branch of our eye clinic located in AMK. Had some issues that I encountered on Saturday when I was there for an eye screening. So when I got my chance I shot the email to nail the staff there, or so I thought. One of the points that I brought up was for them to have a proper system set up and communicated to all staff there. Happily I also cc a copy to my supervisor who also has a hand in the clinic there. When the reply, there was a portion highlighted in blue. Apparently there was a detailed system fixed and it was emailed a couple of weeks prior to the event. Being the super slacker I was, I just conveniently overlooked that email. So when I received the reply and saw that portion, I was trying to find some way to explain away the issue. But after a while, I realised I was indeed in the wrong (at least for not reading through the prior emails) and I decided to apologise. Hard pill to swallow. So the lesson I have gleaned from this is simple,..... before an accusation is made, I gotta make sure that the evidence are on my side and I do not have any loopholes. Oh, and sarcasm should be greatly reduced in any form of communication to enhance relationships...... Oops.....
