A letter written, but not sent:

[azurelunatic]

Dear Student President of the Student Chapter of the IEEE at DeVry,

Thank you for sending me and everyone else in the IEEE address book a 288k e-mail.

I hope everyone that you send those to in the future in the business world includes the original attachment in their reply. Because, you know, they don't give a shit about how full your inbox gets.

There is no fucking reason for you to include an 88k graphic that is your business card, and no fucking reason for you to give us 2k worth of actual content in a fucking huge Word document.

Your geek cred just went down the john.

Love,
A second-generation IEEE member whose daddy really was a rocket scientist

I do hope you sent something scathing.

Sadly, no.

But I did last time.

Someone involved in the Uni psychological association (which sends its emails out to all psychology students, not just members) send out a honking great word document to every psychology student, which had about two dozen words in it.

I replied, told them off, explained why they shouldn't do that, and they sent another email to everyone apologising, and then a third email with the two dozen words in the message body.

At least they're social science students, though. No one expects us to know anything about computers.

This is not the first time he's done this.

I pointed out the error of his ways to him the first time. He utterly ignored this. I think he's a dumb shit.

> I think he's a dumb shit.

I think I agree. :o)

[azurelunatic]

I am happy that he's no longer there.

I would be happier if I were no longer here.

(Meep. Am supposed to be with E having drinks, now. Instead I'm sitting in my underwear brushing my hair. Which is still bloody wet.)
