A taste of Hungary

Hello!

It's always nice chit chatting with co-wokers. But it's even nicer not having to chit chat with co-workers. Tough luck, Kathleen.

Okay. How creepy is this email to get at work and how creepy is that picture?

Re: the corporate world

An excerpt from an actual email:

Re: your voicemail message asking about dropping the “www.” From our URL when using it on promotional items. That’s a really good question. Like the “1” in “1-800” which we dropped because we felt everyone knows that you dial “1” before a toll free number, it might be time to drop the “www.” before our URL as we can pretty safely assume that everybody knows to type “www.” before the rest of a web address. However, do you have any examples of other organizations that have dropped the “www.” ? I wouldn’t want to be the first or to do it if it is not widely done by others. I’d be interested in the thoughts of others on this question.

:O Have you ever seen anything more gloroious that this???? I think this one might be the BEST stupid office memo to date. For serious.

FYI- In case you're wondering, the correct answer to this question is to schedule a meeting and create a URL committee task force.

Heating Issues

I have been advised by the building operators that they have turned off the chillers for the entire building so it should get warmer on all of our floors. If you do get too warm, please let me know so that I can advise them. Also, I believe there is a problem with hot water in the building, as in there is none. They are working on that problem as well.

Thanks

Wondrous! Remember kids: in the corporate world it's very risky to state anything outright- even things that are very, very obvious. Instead, it's best to "presume" or "believe" things. That way you can't be held accountable :)
