Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've never worked in a private sector that has frequent thank you emails. Or I don't do stuff worth being thanked for--always a possible explanation.
Why is leaving voicemail ruder than not having visual voicemail? Take ownership of the issue, and don't mandate which of the media you offer that other people must use to communicate with you. If you don't want people to leave you voicemails, DON'T HAVE VOICEMAIL. It's not like that article is saying there are useful voicemails for the objectors.
Aww, Tep, you can refer stuff to your Mom. Sounds like she's being helpful and non-bossy and I'm sure she'd be willing to take some of the details off your plate.
She's actually the one bombarding me with e-mails asking me things. And I totally appreciate her help, but Monday morning after the time change when blowing my nose is an exercise in gore is NOT the best time to hit me with a spreadsheet's worth of questions. I have a job, AND SO DOES SHE.
(Notwithstanding that I have time to bitch here.)
Chatty deleted the files?! That was not very Mod of him.
Not on purpose, but still. I'm having a case of the Mondays. The Nose Cancer Stop Losing Files Stop Asking Wedding Questions Mondays.
Ok, then, Tep. (adds "wedding planner" to resume.)

Cut and paste: "Hey mom, I'm slammed at work and bleeding to death, so I won't be able to get on this for a couple days. Right after I murder my co-worker and stab my boss in the face with a spork. Cheers ever so, your delightful daughter."
I have a boss who recently was apparently peeved enough to go to everyone's managers because she wasn't getting enough emails. Apparently she wanted "thanks!" And "I'll get right on that!" Etc.
Aw, Tep, I'm sorry for the stress. Here's a good thing for you - my azaleas and mystery tree are starting to bloom. Pretty pink and purple flowers!
Teppy, tons of calm~ma and sinus~ma. Good thing: I'm currently spoiling my nephews rotten.
Here's some good news for Teppy and everyone else:
The Good News About Human Nature: Most People Aren't Jerks
Because I was really having my doubts.
Summary: Ayn Rand was wrong. Because science!
Three earthquakes and I felt none of them. I was in yoga. I think I am very bad at the meditation part if I didn't notice three earthquakes. Or the 29 Palms Inn is very seismically awesome and didn't shake. Because no one mentioned them. [link] Not huge but right around 5 is something I like to think I'd at least notice.
For some reason I keep getting spammed by Ultimate Software, and I email them to tell them to stop (I managed to find a name of a person) and then six months later I get spam again, and I email poor TC again.
Today was one of those days. People might not be jerks, but there should be a good explanation for why they keep slipping up here (remove me entirely from your system!) and that would let Sales get back to willing subjects.
I also got spammed at my personal address by an aunt of mine who either is spamming or got hacked. It's depressingly hard to tell.
