So I manage this email distribution list here at work. I've got it down to where 95% of the management is done automatically using Outlook rules. But every once in a while I get asshats who just can't think for themselves and need me to think for them. I generally am not very nice to these people, because they are morons and are causing me unnecessary work. So today some lady calls me and says "I have a co-worker who needs to be removed from the list". So I'm like "well she needs to do it herself, it's not complicated". Her reply?

"She can't, she passed away last night."

I haven't been slapped down that bad in a long time

[stosh]

Major ownage!

Damn.

She needs some help in her communications skills. I mean, saying "I have a coworker" when the coworker is dead? Don't worry, man - her bad.

Although now would probably be a bad time to bring up her deficiencies in communication..........

-S.S.-

I used to work in the same office area as her. I didn't recognize the name, but I wonder if I knew her just from "hi's".

 

[DHS]

wow its like you're the king of the prom jock. and all the other people that you work with are the outcasts. and you only work with them when you have HW to do.
does that mean ridemonkey is the popular group?
i'm just a bandwagon dude....

Bummer - sometimes you just don't know, so it's beneficial to not ever just be an ass because you are smarter.

*I should practice that here, I guess.

 

[golgiaparatus]

OOhhh... that sucks.

 

[laura]

so it's beneficial to not ever just be an ass because you are smarter.

excellent rule of thumb.


it was a stupid miscommunication though. she could have saved time by typing a couple of extra words making the situation less ambiguous.

If she's dead, why does she care about her email?

j/k

j/k

It did occur to me that this was not something that needed to be a priority. But hell if I was going to say anything.
