The worst part about my job...

[felinejumper]

...hands down, is that the email address for the lab admin is very similar to the email address for the whole lab mailing list, which means it is not uncommon for emails to the administrator (often sensitive ones!) To instead get sent out to, like, 100 people. (Yes, my lab is the size of a midsize company, it's bizarre).

Recent whole lab emails:

• me, about being out for a root canal (humiliation on top of pain, a thrilling Thursday take)
• But also, someone much higher up forwarding a discussion about someone who felt they'd unfairly been laid off, which, WHEW, did we all silently feel bad about that

In this case, it means I just spent a solid fifteen minutes scrutinizing the address, and ended up getting someone to double check, and am still slightly panicking about it. (Also, because all of my admin emails are "sorry I forgot to do this on time,, but here is...", sorry to all admin people that I'm like this).
