Sometimes, in large organisations, it's the sheer size/volume of all the folders etc that is the issue...... not the task itself. and, ultimately, some management decision has been made that says the delay is acceptable.
Even if the IT dept doesn't allow it, if they're not competent to move your archive then they're not competent to catch you.
IT don't decide what's done, etc, it's management that decide, then IT are told what they're doing.... and IT don't get much input quite often as "managers know best".0 -

If it were meant to be earlier, the deadline would be earlier.

There's nothing wrong with me, I know why it happened, I can identify the only other times, ever, in my life when a similar thing has happened and what was occurring at the precise moment it happened was a LOT LOT worse/horrid than the previous events.
Really .... it's like somebody who is scared of needles - they do it too, on sight.0 -

I used to use Outlook until my computer broke and I realised how tied to the PC I was - then I started using gmail for everything. I've got Outlook on my PC, I just never use it. It's there just in case I want to look up old emails, but as I've not had to do that for 4 years now maybe I should move the file off the PC.There must be loads of people like me who are still using Outlook 2003 despite upgrading the rest of Office to 2007 or 2010 because 2003 was the last version of Office where Outlook was included in the cheapo version for students and teachers etc.
I used to do stuff like search emails to see if I'd ever joined a website and what my username/password were. But I've got a password software that holds all that stuff now, on a USB.
There are still some websites etc that when you click "email us" annoyingly open the default mail software, which is always annoying when Outlook starts up for that.0 -

I use it for calendar, contacts and tasks as well as emails.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
