The Zen of Email

[Bunk]

Guess there was nothing better to protest about

There's a picket line of Esteemed Customers outside the main entrance.

With placards & stuff.

It's not as if they can protest using social media with that infrastructure.

Oh Dear(tm).

It appears that the Union of Esteemed Customers is up in arms about the state of the IT infrastructure.

Big meetings in progress.

you have to work hard to screw up file, print & email but people manage it

I feel the same when my hosting mail server gets blacklisted by my client's email server...everything I send bounces back. Luckily there is hotmail. But still, Oh the humanity!

Replace the whole thing with a pressurized tube mail system. Much more fun.

Om.

The systems here are still as fecked up as ever.

Sending or reading an email is now a truly Zen experience.

You click on the Reply button and in a frighteningly Zenlike way, the system responds after a period of extreme contemplation lasting roughly 30 to 45 seconds.

Sometimes more.

Om.

The wonderful MultiFeckedUpFunction Devices are totally offline, so you can't print to them.

Printing is even more Zenlike than the email.

To print out a couple of datasheets, I've had to download the pdfs from the TI site, save them onto a stick, put the stick in my trusty Win2k box, print them out on the attached HP printer, then wander along to the MultiFeckedUpDevice to make copies.

Oddly it still works as a photocopier without needing to validate.

Om.

As an esteemed customer said to me yesterday:

Why are we paying all this money?
