Black Hole II

When you're at the helm of the company inbox you get to see some funny email like...
  1. Spam. Junk Email. TONS of it. Yes, Red, me too ;) Maybe it's because the company insists on retaining the email addresses of employees that haven't worked here in FOUR FRIGGING YEARS!!!

    AND the new fangled exchange server has all its anti-spam functions hobbled for some god-knows-what reason so I have to manually delete this shit, TONS of it, every day. Aaargh.

  2. Feedback from Morons:

    This one guy whom I won't name sent an email entitled "SPELLING !!"

    He then went on at length, WITH CAPS LOCK ON (probably some homo AOL user) to say how boring the company website was (true), how difficult it was to find our contact details (fair enough) and that our "CONTACT DETAILS SHOULD BE THE FIRST" on our website. The first fucking WHAT? First thing I see or program in HTML is usually a logo you silly tosser!

    Then he said that by not having our contact details so prominent it was "AS THOUGH YOU ARE FRIGHTENED OF COMMENTS OR CRITISISM"

    Well, two things here, Mike. You don't mind if I call you Mike, do you? Yes, I agree that the contact details may not be so obvious and quite possibly there may very well be an element of fear of negative feedback at this company. But as for the subject line of your email "SPELLING!!" you have just misspelled the word CRITICISM. It's C-R-I-T-I-C-I-S-M not C-R-I-T-I-S-I-S-M you stupid fucking hypocritical oaf.

    And then finally our friend Mike gets to his point - He at last tells us that we misspelled the word BROUGHT. We Missed out an R and said BOUGHT. Ooops! Sorry. A minor misdemeanour.

    But it doesn't stop there... He then goes on to tell us that having that ONE little mistake "SHOWS A BASIC LACK OF EDUCATION" What? One typo out of many hundreds of thousands of words and you tell me I have a basic lack of education...?

    Look here, Mike D******** of N****** you stupid c***; switch CAPS LOCK OFF, get a better ISP, check your own spelling before you slag others off and go stick your marinated chicken breast products up your arse!

  3. Requests from Morons:

    "to whom this my concern i would like to find outabout the grants. i would like to start my own bisnisss."

    Capitalisation? Punctuation? Spaces? Spelling? Jesus funking H Christ, I'd give up now before you do yourself an injury, Sue. What were you dreaming of being anyway? A secretary? Maybe a lawyer? Or with a steady hand like that perhaps a brain surgeon. I'll give you a grant to go back to school AND to buy yourself a dictionary!
I love it really :) I miss you lot though, 'cos I can't surf/blog so easily at work. Hope to be back after Friday.

Oh, and why oh why do they break the radio football coverage to bring us the horse racing? Don't you just hate that? What if Mexico or Portugal had scored another whilst we were listening to Soviet Song romp home? They do that with the Formula 1 TV coverage to show us stupid bloody commercials and when you get back to the race you just missed some action, some spin offs!

    Wha tis it about customers that always make them seem outrageously stupid? Actually in the organic fruit and veg world there are a lot of weirdos. Goes with the territory.

    morons are entertaining at least.
    i like the spam that has to do with nudity. and sex tips. those are great.

    Mummy/Crit: LOL I'd love to hear more about the organic crop customers... long hair, sandals and looking for organic lentils huh?

    Rebekah: That guy was an absolute classic idiot, I hope his marinated chicken burns his ring.

    Spam with a titillating photo usually brightens my day up too... :)

    oh you get photos?
    i just get misspelled innuendo.
    not fair.

    I love people for that very reason.
    They don't even know the difference between a spelling error and a typo.

    Poor guy, though. He obviously spends a lot of time alone, in his basement, pasty and friendless.

    oh lord, lever. on one hand, i empathise with you for having to deal with people who are somehow still in the gene pool. on the other hand, i really needed that laugh.

    thanks! if i'm ever in the neighborhood i owe you a couple pints of bitter and we'll wash it down with some good talisker!

    actually, i think it would be more fun if i just watched you and whoever else might be in company (bbfk?) and take pics of you all and post 'em up! whaddaya think?! ; )

    Jay: LOL You tell him, Jay. I wonder what he thinks of U.S. and Canadian spelling? OMG, shock horror!!! :o I reckon he'd go positively incandescant if I responded by misspelling his name. Oops, was that a mere typo or do you really spell Mike w-a-n-k-e-r? ;)

    Yep - a lot of time alone, pasty and, well, in the company of a lot of chicken carcasses ;)

    Narthex: LOL I'm glad that bought a smile to your face, Narthex, mine too was a mix of exasperation and manic humour :)

    OK, I'll hold you to that - if you ever happen to happen upon Farnborough in your travels (airshow here next month :) ) there's a nice establishment about 10 mins through the forest where a fine pint of English ale can be had - and there's pics of BBFK, pint & log fire from last Xmas kicking around here somewhere...

    RahX: Dude, you've got CAPS LOCK ON !!! :o ;) :p

    The 2nd one is actually pretty funny. I absolutely hate ppl writing letters with CAPS LOCK ON. Do they understand what that means? If so, I high doubt that they scream at other ppl all the time.

    As much as I like Portugal, it looks like England will win the match against Portugal. Beck's free kick goal was absolutely amazing!

    Tawcan: LOL, good point, that man, he'd be shouting at everybody - i pity his wife, if he ever managed to get out of the basement and get some sunshine :)

    It's a hot afternoon and Beckham should pull his finger out, then we'll have this in the bag methinks ;)

    Come on, England!!!
