What the hell is wrong with these people? I have never seen the like of it. I'm in the same place almost 9 years, and have never felt so abused and pushed and kicked in the arse!

So, why is the feature there at all? Why have M$ put it in?

I recently have been receiving emails that have a reminder attached, a blatent reminder that you have a task to complete by a certain time, a reminder that someone thought it was an important enough a task for them to get done that you could be and should be reminded to do it!!!!

Ok. If my boss asks me to get something to him by COB, I'll certainly focus on it, and might even setup my own reminder an hour before it's due. This I understand. It's useful, helpful and especially for me as I'm as far from an elephant as one can be. My memory is shot from years of abuse (which I plan to end any day soon).


But MY GOD!!! A project manager, and not only one, but two of them, both new to the company, the company I have been part of for 9 years, decide that Shanks needs a reminder to answer some pissy email about such and such! They MUST have the answer by 6pm, or Wednesday lunch time, or blah d blah!!!

As a matter of spite I think the only way forward is to attach a reminder to all my replies and general mails to these people for at least a month to remind them to read my replies in a timely manner.

Grrr!
