*sigh*

I saw this on my short drive to the office today.

Of course, once I arrived at work, on my desk I found a copy of an obituary that ran yesterday, along with a note detailing the 4 mistakes in the obit. Two mistakes were our fault, one was the funeral home’s fault and the other was a toss-up ... which, by default, makes it our fault.

There is not much about work that I hate more than making a mistake in an obit. And not necessarily because of my extreme anal-retentiveness when it comes to such slip-ups, but, yeah, that’s part of it.

I expect my reward/punishment for such miscues will be to spend all of eternity fuming over a major typo somewhere in my own obituary.
