Robots

PL: This web content management system. It's not as good as these people think it is.  I think they've been working with it so long.  Maybe it's better than the alternatives but... it still sucks.
PS: that's frustrating
PL: we've got all these non-web people "helping" so they put the icons under their own folder, instead of within the images folder.
SIGH.
sure it works, but it's wrong.
PS: ahaha
PL: why? Robots, that's why.
and you can't explain robots to everyone.
most people would glaze over.
PS: haha yes
PL: dang robots.

most of the phone numbers on your site are "NOT IN SERVICE" anymore!!!!!!!!! This is very disappointing!!!!!!!!!!

Sir: Thank you for sending me my monthly quota of exclamation points. Try the fax numbers: those never go out of style.

Please do so.

I notice that the 2010 Calendar has not been removed and replaced by the 2011 Calendar.  Please do so.
Thank you.

No no, thank you for asking so nicely.

How to confuse the new girl

A long string of increasingly frustrated emails winds up in my inbox with a "why can't anyone help me with this!!"

Looking over the email trail everyone has volleyed the problem into someone else's court and finally, probably because I'm new and might try harder, it winds up with me. It's a form problem. The location: somewhere on the websites. I search internally. Externally. Shared Drives. Can't find it.

I call, and turns out she is complaining on someone's behalf. She can't find the form either and the person complaining went home early. Really? Is this the best use of all of our time, tracking down someone to manage non-existent forms?

Frankenstein, Vampire, Clown.

Yup. Expanded the list of wacky dates to add: clown.

To be fair, he did fix a flat tire for me, and he only clowns part-time.

Still.
