I am plagued by typos. Mostly my own.

When I went through the application process to work at Jellyvision last October, I scoured my resume, cover letter and, later, writing samples for typos. After several interviews I was offered a contract position by Amanda. In my e-mail thanking her, I spelled the word "probably" wrong. Three times.

Amanda would remind me of this even up into my last weeks at Jellyvision.

Amanda: You spelled it wrong the same way three times. "Probalby." I thought, "He really thinks the word is 'probalby'." I asked Steve-o if we should rescind the job offer. You almost lost the job. Probalby!

I'm starting a new project at Jellyvision on Monday. Back to work.


Comments:
I had the following email exchange just after writing this post.

"Don't worry... you're long time of darkness is almost over. I will be back in the office, brightening everyone's day on Monday.

Arnie"

"'your' long time of darkness… just fyi. See you then.

Sigh,
Amanda"
 
Congrats, Arnold.
 
At least you don't use quotes incorrectly. I hate it when people do that.

"Natasha"
