Proof That Murphy's Law is Just Plain Evil

1. Weeks ago I turned off the automatic agent to send out birthday notices because we had a new shared company calendar in Outlook.
2. Therefore I took out the task in my termination checklist to un-check "send birthday notice" on employees' Lotus Notes person documents. (We have to keep them in the system to make sure we don't miss any mail, but by un-checking this field, the agent would skip them.) No need - right? - since I had turned off the agent anyway.
3. This morning the birthday notice went out. (Why?? The agent was turned off! Maybe something changed when our server died this weekend??)
4. And - here's the part that's just plain evil - the one notice that mistakenly was sent was for an employee who's no longer working here. (What's up with that? If it had to mistakenly fire, why not send one for an employee who's still employed?) Really?!
