Dear IT department,

Your logic, it hurts my brain. We have problems with our email servers, and have been asked to drastically cut down the amount of emails in our inboxes. We are soon moving to a new server, because the system is bordering on collapse. Fair enough.

But wouldn't it therefore make sense for you to NOT send out emails on a half-hourly basis to the entire company? I get that people need to know about IT issues, but not everyone needs to know, every time. And the updates to tell me that the IT issue that didn't interest me in the first place has not yet been resolved - just annoying. Considering the situation, perhaps it would be better to post this information to the intranet site instead. I get more emails from you than I do from anyone else in the company, including Corporate Communications and my friend in HR.

Just a thought.

Baffledly,

Me.

Our IT guys kicked me and Bones out of their office because "they needed to work". May I point out, Mr. V, that we only came in because we saw you watching a YouTube video?

I do have to point out that, if they didn't send out the emails, there would undoubtedly be those people who get all annoyed at not knowing exactly what was up with the IT stuff at that exact second.

Yes, but that's what we have an intranet site for! *flails*

And, heh - everyone's a little Napoleon in their own domain, huh? :)
