Things that make you go hmm..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The President of my workplace just sent me an email with a dirty picture in it. *L*

Actually he was forwarding a porn spam that he got, asking whether I thought it would be a good or a bad idea to hit the “unsubscribe” link. I just spent 10 minutes telling him, in the most diplomatic way I could think of, “NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!”, and then explaining that while our ISP does have spam filters and bad word filters in place, they will never catch 100% of all the junk email that’s out there.

I probably should have added that the next time he feels the need to forward that sort of thing to me, or anyone else, he could delete out the image. On the other hand, even if I considered that to be a somewhat technical violation of our email use policy, who am I going to report him to? 🙂

    You know, staying home and resting seemed like a good idea, until I noticed that the currently-vacant house next door is having some rather loud repairs done to it, and every recorded-message telemarketing firm in existence has decided to call our house this afternoon! Grr! Hopefully Jason remembers to bring the extra wireless access point…

    in 2004-2005, when I was looking for a job, I heard from a number of IT consulting companies, and unfortunately, most of them turned out to be companies I would never work for. Between the ones that lied to me about jobs, or lied about my qualifications to companies, to the one’s who called my house…

    Some days you’re sitting here and everything’s working well, no one really is hitting you up with requests and you’re almost, dare I say it, a little bored. Other days, well, many things don’t work and everyone needs something from you now, and you just don’t see how you can possibly get to everything. Needless…

    Good point, Geek. I actually never even considered a blog-silence to coincide with the Internet Radio Day of Silence, and I was simply too busy to report on it the way I wanted to today, but I do think the CARP ruling is important information. The RIAA and major media is trying to kill internet…
