Currently dealing with issues in SA. Their phone system is down and there's an email delay of about 5 minutes... so now we're using IM.

I'll correct your spelling this time around to really help you on your way.

Not a bad effort, all said.

Have you seen any bullies since you joined, I hear they're running amok these days.

Personally I get irritated by people who hide behind email instead of trying to contact someone

Depends how urgent something is.

Seeing a lot of instant messaging use these days as it offers best of both worlds. Instant and recordable/searchable. Can also have several isolated conversations at once.

Glad that Google Wave crap died on it's arse though. Being able to see a response as it is typed is not always a good idea, especially when replying to a cretin who has cocked something up and the red mist is descending. At least with normal IM and email you get the chance to edit your messages before sending!

It's a funny thread with a serious point. Personally I get irritated by people who hide behind email instead of trying to contact someone - "have you done it? yes I sent an email and I'm waiting for a response." It's just lazy and passing the buck, phone the guy up, leave a voicemail, trying calling again instead of waiting days between email reminders.

Nearly as bad as the fckers who send their stream of consciousness via multiple emails like it was chat or something. take a fcking breath, have a think, compose all your thoughts in one email then press send ffs.

I've a simple rule. Use a phone if its important (a bell rings and people notice it). Email may get noticed but it really does depend how busy I am and I trying to follow the practice of only looking at email first thing in the morning or immediately after lunch. Then doing proper work.

I'm doing this on my time, what's your excuse?
