Subject: New Starter

Just to inform you that we have a new starter who will be
starting on
the 09 December 2002, his name is John Andrews and he is
going to be a
Basic Skills Tutor.

As you can imagine this will cause confusion with our own
John Andrews
so I would suggest that we call the new John Andrews, John L
Andrews, L
being the beginning of his middle name, if this is not
possible any
other suggestions would be appreciated.

Sue Morris

hehe...Just when I thought my life couldn't get any more
complicated....

wtf? Is that for real? This should be a Dilbert strip.
PEOPLE WILL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DIFFERENTIATE TWO PEOPLE.

Mother fucker, what a waste of e-mail.

hehe...Dilbert pales somewhat compared to the reality of
working in offices....

at best, it's pure comedy but most of the time it's just
tragically sad....

anyone here who works in an office will tell you how dumb
the majority of emails are....it really brings out the worst
in people...

especially those who send ya fancy HTML mail...with fuckoff
stupid fonts & backgrounds....15mins of formatting for a 3
word email...wankers...I've deleted Comic Sans from my
system and that catchs most of em, thankfully...

The werid thing with this is that Sue is actually a really
ok person...altho yeah, you'd never tell it from the sound
of that mail....

the important thing is that Sue SOUNDS like a moron.
Whether this is true or not is not important.

She needs to be beaten over the head with a sack of pennies.
Or, uh Euros coins where you're from.
