What pissed you off today? Mark II

[RjThoughts]

Can you set up a filter, or a mail rule, or whatever your mail client calls it?

Because most companies send mass emails from the executives, it's not a good idea to have the filter. However, having email rules about mass mailings from idiots I mean individual employees should be in place.

Some ITs can remove the mass email from the system, and hopefully Cuff's company can do that. If not, it's delete time

You set up a rule for that particular subject line, once you realise you're going to be flooded. Drop them all into an ad hoc folder, if you are afraid of missing an important response, but it keeps them out of your inbox.

Sometimes that doesn't stop the individual idiot every company has from doing it. LOL

Nothing stops idiots, but Stella's suggestion can at least mitigate the pain once the idiots have begun to do the Reply All prayer to their god of idiocy.

Email stupidity can really produce a lot of pissed offness, especially if it's executive level stupidness.
I'm being subjected to a combination of "as long as I just forward it to someone it's not my problem" and "my time is too important for me to consider who should be on the send list which is why I just send it to everyone".
It's the secret zen exercise called "this too shall pass aaaand delete", repeat until calm or exploding.

I've been "consulting" in this company for 3 years now. It's happened twice, but the last time was just before Christmas.

Thank you Stella, this is exactly what I did! The only ones that get through are the ones where some idiot changes the Subject Line to something else, the most common being "PLEASE STOP REPLYING TO ALL". It seems there were more of those than there were responses of "Remove me" and "Why am I on this distribution list?"... So yep, I have still been in Delete Hell today! Going to have to try IrisAlthea's method of Zen deleting...

It's an old superstition/omen.

Like:

If your right palm itches, you'll come into money soon
If your left palm itches, you'll spend money soon

My stupid multiple sclerosis (MS) pretty well pisses me off most days, but after a couple of weeks of the same shitty crap and no relief in sight, I am especially pissed off with it today. I can't even go out and enjoy the sunshine because it's too warm out and I would end up a babbling pile of goo on the sidewalk. I know there is a fuck you cancer thread. Maybe I should start a fuck you autoimmune/invisible illnesses thread. Okay, enough bitching for today. Time to rise above and move beyond.

Oh, those I've heard of!

Hope nothing pissed you off today.

Poor thing my ass!
I gave him some treats when I walked in, put the a/c on for him: he's 17 lbs of fur!

Wish I could see him.

Two e-mails

The first from someone querying an invoice from January for work I know I did but cannot prove I did as I only keep 3 months of sent e-mails on my system to cut down on storage space

The second from a client of a client saying that client has let them down and they need something sorting that is now six months over due and then getting an earful when I said I might not be able to get it done this morning as I've got other clients to see.

What the heck is it with people sitting on stuff for months and then expecting me to be able to pull a miracle out of my arse to solve a problem of their own creation?

(that was a rhetorical. the reason they do it is because I always, somehow, manage it)

^^^^ This......I feel your pain, my friend....

A random sample from this morning: customer has 'done his own artwork' ( ) for an annual report wanted on Monday. Should have set the size to A4, couldn't be bothered scrolling down the size options in Word, so did it in A4 letter which is a different shape. He's now angry that we can't change the laws of physics to be able to reduce a squarish A4 letter document down to a rectangular A5 shape. Pillock....

I'm not sure this qualifies as "pissed off" but I'm definitely irritated. In my state, our vehicles must pass an emissions test every two years. Generally, I think this is a wonderful thing. In particular, I get irritated when the component parts of the vehicle's emissions control systems are priced so high. We had to replace two components, which took a bit over two hours of labor. Total bill: nearly $800. Without the work the car would have failed the test and we would not be able to license it again for the next year. Cars (and trucks, I suppose, too) are becoming so complex that you have to keep them alive for 20 years or more just to get your money's worth.

The not-so-well-meaning "trainers" from the nearby gym making remarks about my diet, something they have no idea of.
