i should have hidden a spaghetti recipe halfway thru it.

or a 'coming out' speech.

Wanker! Is this the boss from the temporary summer work that you're doing?

[flipper35]

Used to happen to my wife. She now hides a similar font in it to ID it as hers.

It's too bad you didn't make some sort of error when you sent it out. You could then respond with "when I originally sent this information, I made mistake X, that has been corrected in the new version below.

tape a post-it note to the bottom of the bosses computer mouse...........it'll take them hours to figure out why their mouse doesn't work.

Type your signature on it and then change that font color to white.
it only shows up when highlighted.

Did that fer years on graphs and technical data that I know would get clipped.

Don't mess wif the Pelicans .... they'll flock up yer day

Write your boss a nice thank you note memo, expressing appreciation that he liked your work.

Don't be smarmy, but sincere.

Ask for any guidance for future work for him.

BE SURE to save a copy for yourself, your next boss, your performance review, and... for his boss.

Transparant tape, a small piece does the same job and is less obvious with a quick glance at the underside.

Hehe, good follow up.
That would have messed up my mind a bit if I were him.

I hope he’s not a regular here...
Or am I?....

[onewhippedpuppy]

Man that’s a huge pet peeve of mine. I’ve had direct reports for most of my career and have always made it a point to either just forward their email directly or include a note of “thanks to Cliff for the below” or something like that.

[sammyg2]

One time a guy I worked with switched the E and R keys on my keyboard.
Took me a long time to figure what the heck was wrong. Darn near wore out my backspace button.

[KFC911]

^^^^ So that's why yre sprrling sucks bigly

[LWJ]

Back to what Sammy said. A lawyer buddy of mine does what he said re: white font. He puts his copyright and ID info on the doc in the border or something. Totally invisible. But, searchable.

Then when he gets ripped off he can hammer them.

Might be a useful tip for someone.

[stealthn]

Just tell him it was mission statement...
