Apparently he hasn't been getting any incoming email for the last two days and he would like me to go in and fix it. I can't get into my car quickly enough!
There was some mistake somewhere, he doesn't know it went to anyone else ,just part of the big picture "mistake" that happened. He wasn't looking, too busy checking all those missed e-mails. Safe!!!
I have such lousy luck that I would have gotten busted. Either that, or the two men will meet up at a business meeting or party some day in the future and the competitor guy will say something in jest to your boss about the email he received...
