There was a check to see how many of us in the office had completed the H1N1 vaccination as we would be able to claim it. So I replied.

Done, but not claiming from the office as mine was completed in end Oct 09, way before the advisory was sent out.

Thanks, imp. We cannot claim for vaccinations done before the advisory. Sorry.

Like I said, I never intended to claim for it anyway, before or after the advisory. No issues.
I can't stop rolling my eyes. What is wrong with all these people? What is registering in their brains when they read their emails? Is it me? Should I have been clearer and write in a way that assumes the other party knows nothing and everything ought to be spelt out? Or are we on 2 starkly different schools of thought?

with yes and the office notebook thingy, u must really luv yr job to still wanna stick with it.
i meant 'btw this and the notebook thingy....'
cavalock: BIG SIGH. You're absolutely right.
Unfortunately, I make such booboos at work too. Blame me for reading my emails too quickly sometimes and forming an impression about the message before reading it clearly.
Anyway, I don't know the context but since I wouldn't be able to make a claim, I wouldn't have sent the first email at all.
Maybe the fact that you replied + gave a date, they, like myself, without reading carefully, assumed that you were trying to make a claim?
anon@11.53pm: perhaps.
