Sorry I've negleted you. I've been busy.
House. Dog. Job.
Anyway, this post will hopefully tie you over until I can post pics of the house, the dog, and maybe I'll throw one in there of me and the hubby.
So I've joined the world of inter office emails. So has Ryan. To sum it up, it bothers me. These emails are basically a device that allows one person to send a message to another person that could be a maximum of 10 feet away. Is it seriously impossible to just get out of your office chair and side step twice to give them the message in person? To me, this system is the equivilent of high school girls texting each other during class while they sit beside each other. You can't tell me there is no difference.
Another parallel: Receiving the text message 'K' from a person who decides that it's necessary to let you know they understand. Wouldn't they let you know if they didn't? Can't we just take silence as understanding sometimes? I'll admit, I've sent one or two 'K's in my time, but usually I send them while I'm in a state of ditz.
Have any inter office email stories for me? Share them, please :)

Oh you wait! There is inter-office emails where everyone hits "reply all" and you get 20 messages on your blackberry in a matter of 3 minutes - when this happens everyone usually is in a state of GRRR and they are all raging about why they keep getting the same thing 20 times. Elementary my friends.
Sometimes Whitney, a person needs a paper trail of what was discussed or read etc so email offers that. I agree it is way over used but there are a lot of times I use interoffice just so I have a paper trail to back me up in case there ends up being a problem.
I think anonymous makes a good point. And you'd laugh at me...Mike and I were having a text conversation sitting next to each other last night. Probably has something to do with cell phones being really new territory to me. ;)
Well that happens all the time in my classes...lots of texting, facebook messages, etc while in class. Mainly this is because we cannot talk while we are in class. I seem to remember me and one of my besties texting across the same table...haha
I can understand the paper trail idea; however, my hubby was asked to send an interoffice email with pictures of our house...
Also, I received an interoffice email that was the equivilent to the 'K' text. Grr.
