Hello friends,
I'm getting off to a wonderful start. Perhaps I should say something clever, provocative or funny to make you like me, but it's not here today. Instead you're getting my list of things that annoyed me today.
1. people who hit reply-all instead of reply. Actually that one didn't bother me. It was knid of funny! At work, an official group email was sent to probably 2 or 3000 employees to offer a chance at free Zoo Atl tickets. A bunch of people, not oui, hit reply-all. Down south I guess we mashed the reply-all button, creating thousands of needless emails. I find it needless to mash out unnecessary, when the word itself is unnessessary. Needless has 6 letters and unnessessary has 11. It takes up 50% more space, time and ink if you were printing it. I'm betting you're not though. When I run for office, that's only after I write my novel and can afford to quit work, I will abolish the word unnessessary, making it unlegal. Why do some words have an "il" and others have "un" in front of them in order to oppositize them? I'll work on that too. I might allow unesesary. And if you're singing the old, old song : It Ain't Necessessarily So", I guess it would be ok. If you don't know that one, you should google it for this week's music appreciation. Back to annoyance number one. Next thing that happened, a bunch of appalled more technically savvy employees, mashed reply-all to let all of the other hicks know that they should not have mashed reply-all. That's about 23,000 more emails in the system. By the way, if you don't know what to call something, just call it a system. I ate too many apples and now my system is messed up. Or the mechanic said my system needed cleaning. $400.
2. a phone call at 2 minutes from logging out (quittin) time from a customer who was appalled at having to spend 30 minutes with a supervisor and stil not getting his way. So he proceeded to spend 20 minutes with me and lost even more ground.
3. head cold
4. The only Andy Griffin episodes on tv were about Howard, Emmett and Sam. What happened to Barney, Otis and Floyd. Barney left the show around 1965 and I guess things just went down hill from there.
I guess that's not too much to be annoyed about. I hope your day was no more annoyed than that.
Y'all get a good nights sleep!
