Do You Ever....?

[lydamorehouse]

 Do you ever have the pure, snarky joy that comes with the kind of interaction where some administrative type is all, "Mmm, I don't see the forms we need to pay you," and you're able to find them in your sent box, copy and paste all the salient stuff, reply to her and her boss, with, "As you can see by my April 14th email...." 

SO SATISFYING.

This is awesome! Congratulations on winning the 'organizational brilliance' game! Everyone should get such a victory from time to time.

It was made even sweeter by the sheepish response of, "I missed this. Will get it processed ASAP."

pure, snarky joy

[rafiwinters]

Oh yes. Yes, I do. I totally get it.

It's such a WICKED pleasure, but, man, is it pleasurable!

"As per my last email" is one of the most beautiful phrases in the English language.

[lydamorehouse]

It truly is. And, as I mention in another comment, it was made even sweeter by an immediate, obviously sheepish reply.

You beat the bureaucracy! And yes, "Per my previous email" is quite snarky, but oh so satisfying.
The slightly more professional version is, "You might have missed this, so I am sending it again so it is at the 'top' of your inbox"

[lydamorehouse]

Hahahaha! I may have to use that exact phrasing if there is a next time!

[oracne]

YES.

Right? Plus, I got an actual sheepish reply??? SO GOOD.
