So, those seminars I've occasionaly kvetched about putting together are looming, and our partner organization sent out about 30,000 emails yesterday afternoon.
Issue #1 - they used _my_ address as the reply-to, rather than the one specifically set up for these seminars. This is relatively minor, unless it ends up becoming a spam-magnet.
Issue #2 - Tons of people are on vacation this week, so out of a hundred and fifty messages this morning [gads, I remember when CorpGoth was a 500 message-a-day entity, and I used to be bored? Keeerist!]. . . a hundred and fifteen were out-of-office autoresponders. Thirty more were either bad addresses, unsubscribe requests, or "your message was filtered as spam, piss off" notifications.
Issue #3 - I get to put in OT over the weekend because I need to get the CD-rom materials ready to be mass-produced in time to have them back for the first session. This wouldn't be a pain in the ass, except that I'm waiting on the boss to actually finish doing some of the documentation, and he keeps getting distracted [and there's a lot of documentation to go through - two hundred pages need to be annotated. And guess who gets to make sure it's all pretty and formatted correctly? Heh].
So much for uber-slacking and powergaming with Star Wars: Galaxies with MBI all weekend while K is at work. Heh. I like it so far, other than the soft economic climate and some heinous video slowdowns at one particular interaction point [the Bazaar terminals, if anyone else plays - I have no idea what the deal with that is]. If any of you play and want to meet up, I'm on Corellia on the Intrepid server, usually dicking around Doaba Guerfel. Apologies to those of you I've just exceeded the geek quota for. A more experienced friend has been trying to coerce/bribe me into joining him on the Bloodfin server, but it's always full when I look at it. So who knows.
"We're fine here, everything's fine. How are you?"
