Embarrassing Lesson Of The Day.

Here is one of those "D'Oh!!" lessons, proving yet again that there is a fine line between multi-tasking and over-tasking:

Don't dash off an email while talking on the phone and doing three or four other things at the same time. You may forget to double-check the email's 'To:' list before you hit 'Send'. Which may result in an unexpected call from a lawyer.

In my case it turned out to be a friendly lawyer alerting me to the address mistake (yes, they still have a few friendly lawyers about), but still. It could have been worse.

So remember, dear readers:

"To err is human; to really screw up takes technology."
