Our emails were not getting delivered yesterday so I logged a helpdesk request.

I can't believe IT didn't notice till I said something :/

Hello IT

Our tracker update emails haven't been coming through recently - certainly for B and I.

I know we shouldn't rely on these to update us on work statuses, but with being out of the office they certainly help, I have already been chased by a Director on something because I didn't receive some.

Please can you look into it?

Many thanks

Mei Ling

Dear Mei Ling

Thank you for your request.

Email has been really slow this Pm because 'our subsidary company' decided to send over 20 thousand emails and the server is just trying to churn through them all.

Please reply to this email if you have not received them by tomorrow.

Kind Regards,
IT Man

Likewise, internally.
External stuff we announce though.

Funny how SLA's only ever seem to be a one way agreement

Circular saw or similar.

Our shop STINKS, although this is not our fault. The sewage pipes in the area have never been working properly and on a warm day you can smell it about 5 miles away travelling up the bypass.

I'm living/working on a property in the middle of some farms in the country, and manure smells are a BIG problem:-P AND our septic tank was blocked up for a bit last month..yuck.

I feel your pain.

Yup, Circular saw, being used to cut metal sheeting, just outside our office. Makes it nigh on impossible to think.
