It amazes me

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yes, it amazes me that I can tell people over and over again that when they bring in new staff I need to know in advance because setting up network logons, permissions, and working with our ISP to get their email account setup takes time, yet I still manage to learn about new staff by meeting them in the hallway on their first day here. And what’s even better? They look at me like I’m some sort of slacker when I tell them that none of that stuff has been setup yet.

Yeah I’m in a really good mood now! Grrr.

He’ll work for them, but still be our employee, work out of our offices and have an email…

    Forget what I said in the last post, Yahoo has apparently decided that new groups get the ads at the top. Big old flashing, intrusive ads too, yeech! So I deleted that group and started one over at Topica. Same deal, you can subscribe over there in the left margin. I’ve set the list to…

    I have a question, when you’re switching from using Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2000, why does Outlook refuse to import message rules that are incompatible with older versions of Outlook? At least I think that’s what happened, when I imported the message rules, all of the “mail from specified account” rules didn’t import, and…
