Toddler is just getting over bronchitis-and-stomach-bug. Great! Now I can go find all the vomit lurking on our verandah (the inside stuff's dealt with, at least). In between preparing for hubby to have knee surgery in a couple of weeks... on... MY BIRTHDAY! And my boss is really stressing the 'we've gotta get this and this and this out ASAP' line atm, which sends my stress levels into the red every time I hear it, because unlike everyone else, the tech writers both have to work on every single bloody project...

yikes! Stuff always happens together - and usually at the worst times! Hang in there & come play in Llounge-land when you need an alternate reality to lower those pesky stress levels!

I assume this is some kind of repressed conservative MP scandal, "having your moat cleaned" being some kind of euphemism.

An essential ingredient in my ZCD laksa. No noodles, because one sip and you're off your noodle.

First thing this morning:

Employee walks into office and plops down into chair: "I've been meaning to ask you about this really weird thing that's been happening on my PC here at work. [My blood begins to chill now] I've been getting these emails ... Well, let me start at the beginning. Last Thursday [My blood approaches absolute zero] someone sent me an email at my home Outlook Express address that contained really good information [translation: funny cat pictures most likely] and I wanted to have it at work. So I forwarded to my work email address [Major violation of company policy] and it arrived OK. But ever since it arrived here the oddest thing started! I keep getting personal emails here at work that I already got at home last night. Even though I downloaded them at home or deleted them. It won't stop happening! Do I have some sort of Trojan [resist urge to wish aloud his parents had used a Trojan 50 years ago] or virus?

Me: [What I want to say is: No, you don't have a Trojan, you have stupidity. Lots of it.] Why no - it sounds to me like you've set your work email address as a forwarding account on your home email address. So instead of just forwarding the 1 email, all are being forwarded.

Employee: "How'd I do that? Outlook Express is SO complicated that I really don't understand how to use it."

The discussion went ever so much downhill after this.

So, how did your day start today?

Much better than yours apparently Although that does sound eerily like the "Federal Express sent me an email" conversation I had here a few weeks ago.

I feel for you poohbear, if nothing else you can rest in the assurance that he is not in any position to threaten your job.

Who in their right mind thought this epub stuff up? Great goals... flowable, open, good stuff.. yeah, yeah... someone should have thought about real people trying to use it... no.. you need a couple dozen files, named weird never heard of things... crazy stuff.. because archaic and occult and difficult is SOOOOO much better and fancier.

BLAH.
