OCD Actual Conversation & Work Email

Below are two recent exchanges ... one between me and a friend (Anonymous Asshole Friend) and the other is with my co-worker Lisa K and a girl that wanted a job in our department. Two things are clear: Isiah Thomas is a jackass and you should put more than 5 minutes of effort into a cover letter.

OCD: Now Cablevision is trying again, with a $15 million campaign — the biggest since Fuse was introduced in 2003 — and yet another attempt to portray Fuse as a source of mainstream music. This time, Cablevision is turning to one of its own to make the marketing work: Kristin Dolan, who, in addition to being a senior vice president at the company, is the wife of James L. Dolan, Cablevision’s chief executive.
AAF: hahaha awesome
OCD: In addition to boning the CEO, she is also a marketing person
AAF: and isiah thomas has been named general manager, president and head coach of the fuse network

Cameron's Response
I'm mortified. Thank you for telling me instead of just not
responding, now it's a mistake I'll never make again. Sorry for
wasting your time and I appreciate your response.
