Default Northern Bird on the brain

OMG I cannot believe what I just did at work........and it is Northern Bird's fault

I have just emailed a guy (contractor) asking him to fill in an information form - and I put his name down on the form as 'Northern Bird' instead of nathan Bird......I feel such a complete T**t

I have been putting off emailing the guy back and apologising - but I can't think of a good excuse as to why I did it.... F**k it - I am so stupid at times....

Why do you need and excuse? Can't you tell him the truth? I wanted to apologise for getting your name wrong on the form. I've got a good friend whose nickname is "Northern Bird" and she's been on my mind because she is due to go into hospital soon.

If he's a reasonably decent human being, he'll be fine about that.

Lol - nice one. I just feel stupid - I laughed at first and then thought OMG what have I done???

I called him and said it was an error and that I was writing to someone i know called 'Northern Bird' (nickname) and my mind became muddled..... I seriously think it has as well..
