It's funny because I don't care any more

Having five working days left in this job after seven years, I find that it's easier to just ignore the problems I've been complaining about all this time, declare them Not My Problem Any More, and laugh at the people who have to deal with them.

Case in point: Our helpdesk team inbox. Because of several management screwups involving staffing levels, amount of incoming useless crap, and competence levels, we currently have about ten days of email backed up.

It's really, REALLY funny to have a quick scan through the oldest items and find "Urgent! Must be completed for presentation tomorrow!", "This site has dropped off the network, please investigate ASAP", and "Please set up these twenty new users to start work on Monday".

Even more fun are the emails where the user has clearly sent it to the wrong team. I've suggested to management over and over that we should be scanning the mailbox daily for these and handling them ASAP, but who listens to me? So somewhere there are guys sitting on their thumbs, assuming that their problem is being dealt with, and the only reply they're going to get after ten days is "Sorry, you sent this email to the wrong people, sucks to be you."

But hey, guess what? NOT MY PROBLEM ANY MORE. BWAHAHAHA.
