Wait a second… you lost me. Didn’t you send it to yourself a moment ago?

Schmuck

Are you serious? really? really!? Schmuck got “lost” in a 3-link email exchange between himself and one other person?

The direction to action this within the branch to one of your units is not being sent to me to do?

Thanks,

Me.

I cannot believe I had to do that.

DID THAT JUST HAPPEN!?
