As part of the Employee Welfare Committee in our company, I am assigned to send out Baby Annoucements. Every now and then, when employees send us pictures of their new born baby, I basically create an email indicating the fullname, nickname, birthdate and parents of the said baby to everyone.
The thing is my boss' wife recently gave birth and to my excitement I immediately sent out an email of his baby's photo. However, I have one pending baby photo beforehand and noted to send it out next. As expected, the mother of the said baby reacted, cc'd my group, as follows:

I wonder when you will ever announce my baby. Actually, I didn't want to but J insisted that I give a photo. So I did but nothing has happened. Anyway, if you don't feel like it, never mind.
Ms. LAdmittedly the photo was sent to me last July 25 but hadn't gotten around to do the layout. Let's just say I wasn't that inspired to do so. I received phone calls asking me if i've read the mail while i am getting irate by the minute. Anyways, I didn't offer her any excuse, whipped and sent the layout in matter of minutes then sent a separate mail deeply apologising for the late announcement. It doesn't end there though, she emailed me the correct spelling of her daughter's mail. You see, I just used whatever info J previously gave to me. Now, I don't really want to clog everybody's mail but for her satisfaction, our chairperson decided that I resend the mail with the correct name.
What a way to start my day.
anyway, here's the simple LO i did for her.

Oftentimes, I get a few praises here and there and that more than makes up for the effort i put on these annoucement alongside my current workload.
