Didn’t I see this in a movie?

I swear my work life gets more like Office Space everyday. We’re planning to introduce, by the first of the year, a new policy which will govern the proper way for the organization to recognize staff birthdays, weddings, child births, family deaths, etc. Apparently, someone has been discussing and working on this policy since the summer, but they wanted to wait until the first of the year to kick it off. I don’t know how many work hours were spent on this but I’m thinking anything more than the equivalent of a bathroom break, was too many!

Personally, I’m thinking it should be opt-in. My birthday is a holiday, the fact that I am not at work for it, is commemoration enough! 🙂

    I checked the Dell site last night to see how the production of my Axim X5 was going only to discover that they had shipped it on Monday, and that it had arrived at the UPS distribution center in Columbus yesterday evening. So it’s on schedule for delivery this morning! Now I’m thinking that my…

  • Renamer

    Thanks for all of the suggestions on renaming. Some of them were quite, umm, interesting, given what I thought was a relatively simply operation, but hey, what did I expect asking a bunch of geeks? 🙂 I’ve settled on a program called Bulk Rename Utility, mostly because when I looked at the screenshot, I could…
