Gripe of the day - What is yours?
The work email system. An imposed 2GB limit to email folder size to control storage costs.
I delete the unnecessary rubbish, I archive everything at 90 days. I'm over the limit and can't send anything. I'm working from home, the IT guy visits the office on Thursdays, but you have to pre-book him. By email. Guess it's going to be quiet next week. Did I say I get sent almost every drawing for every building project including a planned massive new build? My average email seems to be 10 MB. We are not officially allowed to use cloud storage, so Dropbox is not officially used. Last edited by Red ones; 03-06-16 at 08:26 PM. |

We use Mimecast at work. And we have a company Dropbox account. Makes life easier as you can delete everything but still retrieve it.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I sent a quick message to a friend yesterday wishing him a happy birthday.
His reply was that he's had to postpone it because he's at Great Ormond St having just discovered his child who is under 6 months has an aggressive brain tumour that has spread too much for surgery, he's too young for radiation therapy. They've been told there really isn't much hope. Life isn't fair.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
He has my every sympathy as I found myself in a similar position. My daughter was 3 weeks old when we were told by Great Ormond St. that she had only a few days to live unless she had immediate heart surgery and that would only be a short term fix. We thought that the world had fallen on us. Nothing can prepare you for news like that.

That's what every parent dreads, something happening to their kids. I know I do.
Sorry for their news, (and yours Heorot). Life sucks sometimes.

Blimey Bill, have they given you a season ticket or something? Take it easy mister and get well quickly.
