Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
And I was thinking lately I spend too much time emailing, with around 5-10 emails a day (not counting mailing lists of course).... More then enough for me..
this role.. 1 or 2 a week that get read, 30-40 that are marked as read on sight. The joys of supporting a legacy system that has barely changed for 20 years.. *yawn*
Old role: 130-140 a day was a blessing, sometimes as high as 350 per day.
In my old role, those times I received 300+ a day the certainly did need responding to, thus i can easily believed feyd's father needs to respond to all of his, if he has to.
fyi I used to handle service delivery including ad-hoc requests. The main bulk of those mails was the requests and responses to quotations.
I used to work for a large local telephone company, they would give you a few hours to read through your email after you came back from vacation. That might not seem like much but this place would write you up for being 10 seconds late, so it was actually quite a surprise.
