techrecoveryOkay, so I get a new manager calling in because the printer goofed on the email address on his business cards. Now, what he would like is to have a second email address created that matches the typo, that would then forward everything to his correct email address. When I explain to him that he has a snowball's chance in Hell of getting this request honored, he begins to whine.
"But it's not MY fault that the cards were wrong!" Guess what? It's not mine either. Maybe you should ask the printer to give you an email address. Or to give you your money back. Or maybe you should consider the idea of PROOFING shit when you get it back. My guess is that he got the cards months ago, has been passing them out like candy before he noticed the problem, and now wants us to bail his ass out. Frankly, if I had access, I'd be tempted to create the account for him, then have it forward everything to an IRCBot that would read his emails off periodically in channel.
