What Not to Do

When someone in a superior position to you at work sends you a text message that reads,

"Have a great time in AMS!  Make sure you only go to museums and not [] [] shops []."

Don't immediately write back,

"Thanks!  Plan on doing a bit of both :)"

Before saying to H, "Wow, Anonymous Boss must be happy today.  He sent me three smiley faces in his vacation text."

Otherwise you might run the risk of H saying, "Let me see.  What smiley faces?"

And me responding, "Oh, my supermarket branded phone doesn't register emoticons from an iPhone."

So H, being the wise man that he is, forwards the message to his iPhone to find that the message actually reads,

"Have a great time in AMS!  Make sure you only go to museums and not shops grin."

Epic fail = telling your boss you're going to smoke 'a bit of pot' while in AMS and visit museums, particularly when you plan on doing absolutely none of the former, unless coffee shops = diamond shops or home decor shops.
