Funny overheard conversations in work

Most company emails in large organisations are specific to and installed on a particular computer and can't be opened on another.

They could of course (provided the job entailed everybody being connected to the internet) have emailed from a personal account on someone else's computer so long as they didn't mind emailing the IT department from sugartlts69@hotmail :rotfl:

Umm, no, user's emails are linked to a user's Windows SID, so all they had to do was log into another computer, providing they use roaming profiles.

Of course, some one else could always have emailed IT support on their behalf...

We once got an email saying 'can you please let the it department know if you don't receive this email....'

I was describing True Blood to a colleague who doesn't watch it.

"Sookie's ditched both Bill and Eric, even though they've both drunk her blood, and she's looking for Warlow who killed her parents, and Tara's having an affair with Pam, and Sam's girlfriend died so he's looking after her daughter to keep her away from the wolf pack, and Sookie's brother Jason is irresistible to women because of his mixed blood, and Andy just found out he has 4 kids by that fae woman ..."

The big boss piped up, perplexed, "Are you talking about your family?"

I did ring my internet service provider the other week as my internet was a dead as a dodo, and he took the info, and then said, I have emailed you with the confirmation of the engineer visit, and the number to call if you need to change the appointment.'

I don't know who's more daft: HIM for sending me an email when my internet was down, or ME for not registering what he's said til I had put the phone down! :undecided

"Please don't lick your friends face"
"Don't eat the caterpillar"
"Don't eat spiders"
"Your shoe is not food"

You can tell I work with children. :rotfl:

walked back into the office after a break and two of the biggest blackest guys you have ever seen in your life (they are both lovely but compete in body building in their spare time so are MASSIVE) were discussing epilators and veet so someone else in the office asked if it was something to do with their body building nope - one was asking the other the best way to suggest one of them to his girlfriend was brill (no work was done for around 10 minutes)

also discussing the halloween challenges we do at work to raise money for charity with the above two guys saying they will eat as many bugs as we like cos they are expensive but excellent sources of protein kinda took the fun out of it
