Hamish's Bad Spell

In a bid to improve his lamentable social skills Hamish took the brave step of sending a humourous email to his boss.

After two days with no acknowledgement of his efforts and disheartened by his attempts to be generally less dour Hamish enquired as to whether his boss had not enjoyed his attempts at light-hearted banter.

Said boss replied that he would surely have appreciated such joviality had anything actually arrived.

Already well-documented as not the most skilled user of advanced technology, Hamish, all set to heap the blame on his computer and assisted by his boss, set out to discover the cause of the problem.

It was only when his boss discovered two undeliverable emails that the matter was rectified and, to his chagrin, Hamish realised he had misspelled his boss's name.

Were this not shame enough to bear, his boss, ever forgiving and understanding was quick to give Hamish some easy to follow advice.

Indeed, he simply pointed out that, in the future, Hamish could copy the spelling from the words clearly printed ON THE SIDE OF HIS VAN AND THE FRONT OF HIS OVERALLS.

With a heavy heart, and a somewhat ruddier complexion than normal, Hamish concluded that social skills were overrated and vowed to return to his sullen ways.
