Hey folks. Been a while since I rapped at ya. I guess I haven’t been very grumpy.  I could bitch about the weather, but that signals the end of this blog.

IM clients should completely block messages like “hey, did you see my email?”  Have a little confidence, people.  I don’t know about your email client, but mine tells me when I have unread messages.  Even worse is a phone call with the same question.  Stop that.  Is the answer ever “no?”   Often, I’ll get these IMs before my email client has even pulled the message from the server.  I guess I should answer “no” in that case.  Even if your email is really important, give the recipient an hour.  He/she is probably busy, just like you.  He/she might even be working on something more important than your request. OMG!  Also, don’t ask “are we there yet?” in the car, and don’t chew with your mouth open.

It really bugs me when someone doesn’t know what their email signature says. Especially when they sign every email with “Thank You” at the end.

I appreciate you helping me with this

Thank You

Thank You

What if they write a scorching email to one of their minions? “Your work is really bollocks. THANKS!”

I hate when people start blogs and suddenly stop posting.

I want the ability to send a “your message has been deleted because you requested a read receipt” read receipt.

Dear Sun, Why can I hear my mouse movements and hard drive accesses through the sound card on your Java workstations? You put a $1400 video card in these things but purchased the audio hardware and motherboard design from a street vendor in Taiwan who bundled in a free DVD of Shallow Hal.
