Working from home

I know it seems like lately this blog is all about the Newbie, and I promise I'll post soon about the other girls' antics. However, the Newbie, aka the Barnacle, had a spectacular morning working from home that I must share.

Today, I'm home. Sending an email to a committee to tell them that the id code for our conference call has changed. My employer has a variety of email lists. I've typed the email, and am typing the name of the committee, say it is called the "workers committee" in to "to" field of my email. Moo bear needs me upstairs. I help her and then I come downstairs to see this:

The Newbie is gleefully typing/banging on the computer. She looks a little bit like a mad scientist in pink santa pajamas working on a secret formula. I laugh, and take a picture of her with the computer's camera.

Then I realize that the email is gone. I think, "oh crap, she deleted the email." Then I realize, no, the email is showing sent. To ALL WORKERS in my company! Now, the dial in number meant for a few people sent to the whole group is not a big deal. I sent a disregard email, but I look like an idiot. No one is going to believe me that my 18 month old did it.
