Mail Merge FAIL!

I just sent out an email to 100 people using their last name instead of their first name in my greeting line.

As in, “Hi Jones,” instead of “Hi Michael.” As in, I am an ass.

I would like to crawl under a rock now. Not the end of the world, but come ON. Not the best impression I could give either.

Aren't things like Mail Merge supposed to make life easier? Sigh... I think it’s time to call it a day.

  2. Gavin -- not a bad first name. Cool for a guy or girl. Androgynous kinda like Pat.

    Anyway, I am convinced that mail merge was invented by space monkeys whose mission is to make us look retarded. They accomplished their mission every time I had to use mail merge for a stupid mass e-mail. Sorry they've sucked you in as well.
