asses, assess, same difference

I just got an e-mail attachment from a manager. The file name was co-workers-asses.doc.

“Well, that’s pretty inappropriate,” I thought to myself. “I barely know the guy, and that just screams sexual harrasment, if the person wasn’t careful.”

Then I took a second look at the filename. co-workers-assess.doc. Assess, as in, to evaluate. I knew that. Really. (Good thing I figured out the file name before I filled out the document, instead of after.)

That is all.

They also pulled that “du-mass” thing in Shawshank Redemption. Figures that Ern would misread something like that. I, however, would have pointed out the error in a mass mail, not realizing that I was in fact incorrect.

Dure, you were soo wishful-thinking!

This is so not the first time you did that. When you were in LA and saw the sign for Fruitasis (as in a word combination of fruit and oasis, it’s a smoothie place) the first thing you said was “there is a place called fruit-asses??!”. Talk about wishful thinking Ernie.

All visual designers must perish from the persistent accusations posted toward our fellow webDev#22. We stand in solidarity (till he backstabs us) and believe our Ernie, is the light of enduring truth in a time of webdev darkness. So co-workers-asses.doc or not, we got his back!

Just had to give a guy at work a list of stats I did and it just so happened there were … 69 resulting values. Great. That was fun to say over and over again.

Feel your pain.

And yet another case of reading something the way you want it to be, rather than the way it actually is.

I remember on our network looking over photo’s of buildings. I came into a project that was a library in the town of Sisters. There were two photos: one interior and one exterior. The first was named ’sistersin.jpg’ and the other was ’sistersex.jpg’.
