What is it that drives you really crazy?
-
About the only things that really upset me are ignorance, obstructiveness, nastiness, bigotry, arrogance etc. Fortunately, none of my co-workers are like that. The last time I really lost it with anyone was with a marketing manager at my old company who causing us big problems with a customer by trying to sell them technically unfeasible solutions. Fortunately, we had a good relationship with the customer and were able to sort things out with them - the idiot who caused the problem ended up looking pretty stupid. One evening it all came to a head and I rang this guy up and told him what I thought of him and his sales technique. The argument went on for 45 minutes, but fortunately, my boss's opinion of him was as low as mine was so I was backed up completely and without reservation. :) Anna :rose: Homepage | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

A while ago I had a co-worker who liked apples, and every morning he was eating his apple at breakfast time...with an open mouth! I could have freaked out with that, .... I was ..... aaarrrrrrghhhhhh.....:sigh: OK OK, it was nerving.... So what is it that does you really drive up and down the wall?? (sniffing, coughing, breathing, eating...)

hehe I know what you mean. We have it as well. If someone doesn't pick up after 5 or so rings THEY'RE NOT AT THEIR DESK! Phone back later already.
Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

HTML email! If you need pretty pictures, colours and fonts to say what you want to say then you should be using different words not different formatting.

OK, maybe translation makes it not so funny in english... It's something which is not really a crime, but it's kind of... I thought it was funny... :suss:

I disagree. External corporate e-mail should be (for initial communications or when dealing with unnameds only) branded as if it was headed letter paper. Image is everything on first impressions. Newsletters, announcements, etc, also need to carry the company brand. And for the text, yes, straightforward black text may fine in most cases, but formatting such as bold, code, etc are highly useful depending on the content.

I know your pain all too well.
Searching the web without Google is like straining sewage with your teeth.

Colleagues who eat with their mouths open... who whistle all the time... and me being splattered on the head with porridge... Thankfully my headphones protect my sanity, although not from porridge attacks.
