Take cover

We’re having an e-mail storm at work today. You know, someone accidentally sends a meeting invitation out to 30,000 people, and now for the rest of the day your mailbox is filled with people saying, "Why did I get this?" "I’m not part of this group." "You have the wrong [name here]". Yes indeed, you have the wrong [name here]. [name here]’s come in six packs.

My favorite response so far read simply "...ditto...". It came from someone whose signature said they were a "Senior IT Manager".

Personally, I think the next list of layoffs should be compiled from among the people who responded and fueled the storm.

I am so there with you. If my site wasn’t being all wonky (again!), I’d be ranting & raving myself, although in a wonderfully non-specific way of course.

(and Outlook’s "recall message" feature is a joke...either that, or invented by Satan.)
