Genius!

I love working with underpaid, creative geniuses. Here is a smart example of one person's efforts.

An actual note

This email was sent from an IT Analyst at a sister institution to our general IT information address:

Hi,
I got a new computer . I have outlook set up already in my computer but I don't see any of my older emails.I have important emails and I need them urgently. Please help me as soon as possible. I am in 123C --- Hall.

Thank you.

Post Script

After sufficient whining, one overpaid idiot was noticeably absent from this morning's very brief meeting with her minions. It was decided after not too many minutes, that we should meet to discuss the message once a message has been crafted. I graciously offered to attend the message crafting meeting. Ha!

I Hate Working with Overpaid Idiots

There are a few things that simply piss me off. I often write about them (see IH8 IE8)in order to vent frustrations. It is cheaper than actual therapy (so far). While, I respect my boss and the majority of my co-workers, there are just a few individuals who not only make more money than I do, but are complete idiots. They have failed upwards thanks to previous efforts by no longer employed executives. I suspect this is a fairly common problem for organizations across the board. I usually am able to settle into a semblance of blissful denial of their existence. Unfortunately, one of them inevitably decides to remind me of their existence. Case in point: yesterday I received a meeting request. Shit! So, I will be spending at least an hour biting my tongue and engaging in inane conversation for absolutely not constructive purpose. Yay, Wednesday!

Letters to the Webmaster

I am starting this section for the amusement of all. These are real examples of emails sent to a university webmaster. Names have been changed to protect the ignorant. Spelling has not been corrected.

Is there any way you can remove the image of the ‘Arabic language training’ on the main PCU page? I do not care to see this every time I visit PCU’s main page.
Thank You,

Hello,
I am interested in donating my dead body to your college for whatever you do with dead bodies. I am wondering how I go about setting this up. I am a healthy person at this time. I have only been in the hospital 2 times in my life. Once when I was a kid I went in for some tests. Then when my son was born 30 yrs ago I had him by way of c section. The first time I was there for a day and a night and then when my son was born I was home in three days. These are the only stays I have had in the hospital. I am 53 yrs old. I am a little overweight.
I dont smoke or drink or do drugs(other than a tylenol or ibruprofen ocassionally).
Please let me know what I must do to get on your program.
Thank you in advance.
yours truly, Ima Planner
