The all new "Where are you today?" thread

[Miss Demeanour]

Looking at getting myself a new phone. Imagine one for me and not cos my previous one is lost, broken , faulty etc   

The Brat just cannot understand this phenomenon 

Apart from that working from home and laughing at the new policy from the Clownschool of not sending or 
 copying in people to  'unnecessary ' emails  as that is known to increase stress and affect well being yadda yadda yadda 

Still trying to work through Friday's emails of which I still have 743 yet to read 

i'm sure none of these are unnecessary

Do you use Outlook there?

If so the rules function can help a lot.  I offer you the advice of the wonderfully named (and very wise) Kaitlin Duck Sherwood.  I actually bought her book but she's now put it online for free

Summary:  use auto flags to highlight emails sent TO you from important people and ignore the rest until you're bored

[Miss Demeanour]

Yes we use O365 Outlook and have set up some rules.

There is just soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much of it 

[Steve]

I remember getting to over 3,000 unread emails but as the flags said I was only on the copy list and not from anyone that could boss me about I just deleted them all 

And then I moved to a company that used the utterly dreadful Lotus Notes    Never work for an organisation that uses it, begging for a living on the streets would be less frustrating

Seriously Ducky Sherwood is a clever lady.  I may have posted this up before but it's a paper she wrote about Women in Industry and not only is it amusing, it's good advice for blokes working with women too.

Going that way, and also being a twat.  His first two wives "died" and his third lives in a shed in his garden

Nod calls. He is in despair. His mother (90) had called him:

There is a dog in the house and it is chasing your grandmother. Get here as soon as you can!!
