Email Monday

My entire day will be spent sending emails to deliquents. People who just can't get their work in on time. It is a big waste of time as half the email addresses are on one system while the other half are on another. Thus I cannot simply browse a global listing but need to look through different sections to not only retrieve their address but their supervisor's as well. All for people who just have to print their name twice, date it and sign it. Takes less than a minute.

Before I entered this ring of hell, I had to call the cable company to have them unlock my account so I could pay the bill. The rep on the other end of the phone was "Ninja". I am not kidding. Her name was "Ninja". She said she had to make a call to "disenable" my account. I have no clue what that means as I would have simply had it "enabled". But when Ninja came back, she let me know my account was "re-enabled". I guess the cable company uses Ebonics.

I see the local Rock Bottom Brewery is having a tasting for their Pumpkin Ale. Free beer. I will have to round some people up to check it out. If only I had the date with me. Damn. You would think I would remember the day and time of free beer. I do know that it is being done at the Pabst Theater and not the restaurant so I should get some points for that.

Since I am just rambling on now, I might as well get to work. I will use the email I drafted to scare everyone into submitting the reports. I know my boss will tell me to use a different version when she reads it but screw that, I need to get this boring shit done!

Update: I see my influence has spread once again. Please welcome WhiskeyGyrl. Check her stuff out!

Thank you!!! For the invite St8 =)... And I have a question about email... Who the hell emails someone the morning of their scheduled meeting to let them know the meeting is cancelled????? This has happened to me twice this past week. I'm a nurse, so, I personally don't sit at a desk to do my job. It is not a daily routine for me to check email. Especially at 8am. Soooooooo if you guys need me to get an important message just call me and leave me a voicemail dayum it!!!

BTW, it is StB. B as in Beer, not the number 8. That was funny.

Only morons send emails at the last minute to cancel a meeting.

Unless the conference room is booked by someone else. Then it's damn funny.

(Not that I've ever done anything like that intentionally to a certain coworker I can't stand who won't shut up during meetings.)
