I have a weeklong training/seminar in NC next month, in three different counties (1.5 days per county).

I have sent 3 emails to our customers in NC inviting them to attend, and at least one district didn't receive the invitation because it said "In Your Area" in the text somewhere within the invitation.

Oh, and it had an exclamation point at the end when I said "I'm looking forward to meeting you!".

These customers were expecting the email, we'd verbally discussed the seminars over the phone in order to schedule the events...So insane that they had to chase me down, and we tried resending the invitation several times today with different text combinations before it got through their filters...:rolleyes:

Spam Sucks!


approximatly 1/2 of all the email our corporation recieves is Spam ! we are talking about Spam messages a day!

We have spam filters that I used to have to go through twice a day ( we rotate people to do this, it takes a lot of time ) ) to make sure legitimate emails didn't get caught ! and it catches any profanity . and reading that you learned some things about people you would never have imagined !

and there are a couple people I just can't look at the same way ! you find out all the married people who are fooling around ! and even one marrieds guys GF was sending him "pictures" of her self ! and he was telling her how when he was doing his wife he was thinking of her ! then ther is little Hottie here who we found out enjoys a thumb in a certain orafice !


But it is amazing how many Message for Penis enlargement , Viagra , levitra, Natural Breast Enhancement , DVD's CD's electronics .

Here is a Hint for every one ! Your Corporate Emial is Not Private!!!

Whaddya do JR B? I see these f*cktards constantly spamming this site and think bloody RM and the mods have a never ending battle keeping these vampires at bay. I guess it's the price you pay for the internet. Doesn't make it any easier to bear though.

Where in NC? So NC monkeys can stalk you while you are here.
In this order:

Randolph Co School District
Winston-Salem Co School District
Lincoln Co School District

These three districts have been generous enough to host regional trainings for all of our customers in NC.

The southeast is probably my favorite for customers!! :thumb:

I've got FL in May
hopefully SC in June
NE is September
Southern Cali - lol - someday ;)
MI also someday - they're not scheduled yet so I dunno quite when.

We just finished up GA and AL, my boss is doing TN

I'm a training/implementation specialist and account manager and product administrator for a small Educational software company - we help school districts meet their federal and state requirements that dictate how they are to communicate home to families.

It's so expensive to get accurate translations into languages the parents can understand, yet it is a requirement districts must meet, that we are able to provide most of their "required" forms at a low cost in all the largest/most in demand languages. We also help districts meet their NCLB legal needs, and soon IDEA (special education) requirements for communicating with parents.

It sucks when I get tagged as spam, considering my job is to make their jobs easier.

that's a pretty dumb spam filter they have. many other better ways/phrases used in blocking... like blackhole lists to start.

If ya do end up in Michigan, namely Southeast, send PM if you want a tour of some local trails. There won't be any stalking, as I have a girlfriend.

hahaha - will do, though I don't know how I'd get a bike back there if I'm supposed to be in suits and traveling around the state. My sweetie would be relieved to know, I'm sure, that the monkeys I may meet on the road are just sayin howdie and not out for more lascivious interests.

Where in FL are you headed? Its not quite, but pretty close to disgustingly hot and humid in May. :rolleyes:
We're actually still figuring it out, but it looks like South Florida will be out - even though we've got some big customers down at the very end...

I'm a bit disappointed that I can't figure out how to work the whole state in, in one trip, but FL is Huge!

Right now I'm looking at Duval, Lake, and Orange County school districts.

Ugh Lake and Orange are smak in the middle of the state, at least you can hit up Disney World or something.

In Duval you get that sweet smell of paper mills.
