Email Anarchy You know, sometimes email is an evil evil thing. Especially within the Government of Canada. Someone has set up these mailing lists for each department that have everyone listed in at least one of them. So, on Monday, some lovely individual sent a forward of a controversial nature (Climate change vs Oil and Gas production) to every list he had access to. What happened next was nothing less than total anarchy. It produced 75 Reply to All emails with various versions of: you get the idea. And then, mother stepped in, our email auditor. Who knew that someone was being employed to check the efficiency of our emailing? This all happened on the Tuesday while I wasn't here. The original email went out on Monday and all the replies started and finished between 8 and 11:30 Tuesday morning. Yes, it makes me laugh. Oooh, this is exciting. I'm being sent to the airport to pick people up for a conference this weekend. Getting paid to drive around and sit in the airport sounds fun. My boss is printing off pictures right now so I can recognize these people. |
