I know King Awesome Dawg! has posted about his peciular co-workers such as Pedro and Dogfood.. I've also posted about the Secretary / Argentine Mennoite former-boxer (or so he claims) guy who sent me this long e-mail about the possibility of Aliens. Well he went to Mexico to hitchhike for his honeymoon. While he was away, the company VP and his boss got fired.
He sent out this email today.
Personal note:
Dear colleagues,
First, I apologize if I did offend anyone’s personal space today. Today was a difficult time for me and I lost my sense of professional demeanor. It will not happen again.
I went into David’s office today to retrieve some of the small disks and flyers we created for the conference and to find a quiet place to pray.
Regardless, if I did offend anyone at the office that I may not be aware of (I wasn’t quite in my mind today), please do let me know so that I may have the chance to give my most sincere apologies.
IT Department: This morning I suddenly felt as though I would faint as I made my way through the halls and so I sat and cried (yes, I’m sorry about that) at xxx’s desk.
xxxwas very kind and offered me some tissue and asked me if I was ok. OmarCheeseboro also asked if I was feeling ok (ed note - this is inaccurate - I said "oops I didn't see you there", and asked how his vacation was. I never asked if he was okay). I assured them I was all right. I was with them for less than five minutes.
My reason for being at IT was because I was printing a document that Bill requested for our 10:30AM meeting and I wanted him to have some of the fonts in the document in color, so as they would be easier to read and understand.
Following my route from IT, I felt most disoriented and thought I would pass-out, so I took a minute and sat with Kayti after asking her if I might take a moment to sit and rest.
Honestly, I needed a Samaritan to help me get grounded after the great shock of the morning news. I was there about four minutes after which time I felt better.
I thanked Kayti for her wise words and encouragement. I can truly say that were it not for her silence and willingness to just hear me out, I honestly believe I would have been in emotional duress.
I went to see Jim early this morning. I wanted to make sure that my timesheets were done correctly. Of course, I asked him if he could help me do them correctly.
He clearly was occupied with his daily duties, yet he put his work aside to aide me with my three timesheets. Jim has always been most generous with his willingness to help me. I thank him.
Sara and xxx stopped by this morning at my office to see how I was doing. I am thankful to them for having the insight into knowing that I needed water when I myself would not have thought of it myself and as far as xxx, I am truly grateful for her great words of wisdom since both of them put my heart at ease this morning. Yes, at the time, I was under such duress because I thought the company was going under. Truly, my mind had a most difficult time thinking of all the grand efforts and works of everyone here becoming vaporous just as I arrived from my honeymoon with my new bride.
Later this afternoon, Mr. Bill B came into my office and greeted me. I was gleeful to see him unharmed. He invited me into his office asked me if I wished to see some pictures from overseas.
I spent about half an hour with him as he walked me through each of the pictures. Later, xx then came into his office and asked to speak to me regarding new responsibilities.
All I can say is that xxxis truly a great man and that makes him a wonderful boss.
Lastly, I do not wish to trouble anyone either by accidentally overstepping any personal boundaries or by mere cultural ignorance from my side.
I most deeply, truly and respectfully ask forgiveness from all of you if I mistreated or otherwise created insult or discomfort.
I do promise to maintain a respectful, and above all, a professional and stoic demeanor amongst all of you: my fellow colleagues and admired professionals.
With greatest sincerity and respect,
xxxx xxxx
Post Script:
If you wish to speak personally to me, please allow me the honor so as I may offer my most heartfelt, deepest and sincere apologies.
I write this to you, my fellow work mates, because I wish only the best for each of you, and thank you for your understanding.
I respectfully ask, once again, for any heartache I may have caused. I am certain that instigated this email from xxx. Once again, I offer you my deepest and most sincere apologies.
