    Hi OK, according to a thread from the soapbox (Megans sniffing thread[^]) I'm wondering what your co-workers are doing to drive you to insanity....? 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...)

    People who don't know what it means when somebody doesn't answer their phone. It bloody means they aren't there!!!! Doesn't it? And then, after letting it ring for fourteen days, they hang up and call again less than a minute later. The difference between a pessimist and an optimist is that while the pessimist is always a victim, the optimist is always a target. - Brady Kelly

        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.

                    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.

                          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.

                                        What about saying "whack whack"?

                                          I am honoured! I often read people's signatures and see the wisdom and intellect oozing through. I would never have thought someone would use something I said as their signature! :cool: Matthew Live to ride. Ride to live.
