Top 10 things I would have liked people to know today

Jimmy, Grandad and Grandma go to CornwallI thought I might try a random Top 10 today. Top 10 lists are not normally my stile, but lets give it a go anyway.

There are just times when I would like people to know things without me telling them, so I thought I would tell everyone, so now everyone should know. In no particular order then:

  1. That email you have just sent me with “VIRUS ALERT” in the title id 99.999999% certain to be a hoax. Please check before sending it to me, it’s quite easy.
  2. Yes, I have seen the christmasbonus.pps, it was mildly funny in 1999 when I first saw it, the humour value has been down hill all the way since then.
  3. There is no space at the end of a word before it’s punctuation mark “like this.” – “not like this .”
  4. Just because you have sent me an email doesn’t mean I have read it – even if you put “URGENT” in the title.
  5. Having a policy that sets the screen saver lock-out to be 5 mins might be good for security, but really messes up a presentation.
  6. Yes you can do some really nice 3D effects in PowerPoint these days.
  7. No I don’t think I can fit all of that information onto one slide
  8. Yes I am working from home because I am sneezing rather a lot and people in the office wouldn’t appreciate it.
  9. It would have been helpful for you to tell me that you had finished the milk last night, rather than let me find out this morning.
  10. I’m not at grumpy as these things make me sound.
