    Setup Your Own Damn Mail Filters

    Jake5/22/2008

    Managment:We want all new users to have two default filters setup when they start..This seems to be a pain point for new hires.
    Me:Really..There is a document that the Help Desk wrote on how to setup those filters..They even go over in the new hire orientation.
    Managment:That’s all well and good but we don’t think that users should be burdened with having to create that.
    Me:…
    Me:But they are going to have to create more than two filters when they start..Shouldn’t they just learn the process and then create their own?
    Management: No..They can just the others once they’re settled.
    Me:*bangs head on desk*

    PITA POS Dell Server

    Jake5/13/2008

    So I’ve been dealing with one of our ancient Dell 4300 servers. This thing is a beast, weighs in ~70lbs and it only has two 400Mhz Pentium3 processors in it. So it’s been hanging on boot up complaining about firmware being out of date. I was unable to get into the bios, or the utility module since it would just hang there.

    The solution: unplug the mouse…:sigh:

    Unplugging the mouse eliminated the firmware error messages and the damn thing booted right up…Really…The mouse…:shakes head and goes back to work:

    Punctuation in email???????

    Jake5/9/2008

    I wonder why people feel the need to put an inordinate amount of punctuation in emails?????????? In my job people send in request for help………I guess they think that putting more than one question mark or exclamation mark will get their point across more clearly………Personally I hate seeing tons of punctuation in an email……It really gets under my skin!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway…….Glad to get that off my chest!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone else feel the same way?????????????

    Summing it all up

    Jake5/5/2008

    Never Hunger
    Never Prosper
    I Have Fallen Prey to Failure
    Struggle Within
    Triggered Again
    Now the Candle Burns at Both Ends

    Twisting under Schizophrenia
    Falling Deep into Dementia

    Old Habits Reappear
    Fighting the Fear of Fear
    Growing Conspiracy
    Everyone’s after Me
    Frayed Ends of Sanity
    Hear Them Calling
    Hear Them Calling Me

    Birth of Terror
    Death of Much More
    I’m the Slave of Fear, my Captor
    Never Warnings
    Spreading its Wings
    As I Wait for the Horror She Brings
    Loss of Interest, question, wonder
    Waves of Fear They Pull Me under

    Old Habits Reappear
    Fighting the Fear of Fear
    Growing Conspiracy
    Everyone’s after Me
    Frayed Ends of Sanity
    Hear Them Calling
    Hear Them Calling Me

    Into Ruin
    I Am Sinking
    Hostage of this Nameless Feeling
    Hell Is Set Free
    Flooded I’ll Be
    Feel the Undertow Inside Me

    Height, hell, time, haste, terror, tension
    Life, death, want, waste, mass Depression

    Old Habits Reappear
    Fighting the Fear of Fear
    Growing Conspiracy
    Myself is after Me
    Frayed Ends of Sanity
    Hear Them Calling
    Frayed Ends of Sanity
    Hear Them Calling
    Hear Them Calling Me
