I was told buy some ass tonight that his question about the anit virus software was "Too sophisticated for a female."

This "Oh but you are a female what you would know?" crap doesn't bug me but holy fuck tonight this one pissed me off.

Especially when I was the only one who knew how to answer and fix his fucking problem.  But all of us girls are had fun tonight saying "Its too sophisticated for me!" whenever someone else on the floor asked us something!

it was bound to happen...

The anti-anti virus email

[spooforbrains.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine just sent out this magnum opus, the kind of mail I have always wanted to write but have never had the nerve (for fear of humiliating the idiot who sent out the original missive). I think I'm going to print it out and put it on my wall.

Emails

As promised here, below lie links to the various boilerplate emails I send out for various issues, including...

• ...the sending of Office attachments (first, second times): here
  
• ...the sending of Office attachments (third, fourth times): here
  
• ...the sending of Office attachments (fifth time): here
  
• ...the sending of Office attachments (sixth time): here
  
• ...the sending of unsubscribe (or personal/sensitive) messages to lists: here
  
• ...the polite asking for help in fields I am not familiar with: here
  
• ...the rude asking for help in fields I am not familiar with: here
  
• ...(NEW, adapted from here) the spamming of lists/address books with panic emails: here
  

Note that, though the files linked above are HTML files, the actual emails sent are in plaintext format. The rationale behind the HTML files above is the increased efficacy of hyperlinks when viewed in a web browser. The pages linked to are either reference materials (Google, Wikipedia, Snopes, ATLAS, etc.,) or rationale pages (like this), which are almost guaranteed to be up at all times. If you do use these documents, especially the rationale pages, please consider mirroring them on a server more personal to you. Feel free to modify these documents and the rationale pages as you see fit--I release them into the public domain.

Enjoy!

So there I am in a hole-in-the-wall bank, bagging up the unused patch cables and leftover twisties from midwifing their new networking gear in and old gear out from among the other phones, faxes, copiers, credit card terminals, PC terminals, printers, outlet strips, surge protectors, battery backups, intercoms, lamps, fans, radios, electric pencil sharpeners, bill counters, change sorters, space heaters, hot plates, and crock pots, and the woman in charge of the location says,

"Can you do something to get rid of the rest of these cords? We really don't like wires."
