Definitely.

In the logistics field, the impossible is constantly expected and an unseen inferno is always raging between the office and the warehouse. Kind of like the epic "kitchen vs waiters" wars that happen in every restaurant across the nation, but with email.

"I apologize, but seeing how it's past our cutoff time, I won't be able to process this 'emergency overnight' order until tomorrow. We've reached the part of the day when our carriers arrive and the orders that were created on time are loaded onto their respective trucks. Orders of high importance should be treated as such and handled as early in the day as possible. Thanks for understanding. ; )"

Yep, that's an "F-U" face.


Awesome link.

Some of my messages to the staff could go something like this:

"Hi everybody, I'll be coming to each of the 90 staff computers to install ________ this week. Because of the lack of time, if you have any issues in the mean time, please be as descriptive as possible. I'll be able to fix your broken computer by quickly telling you how to turn NumLock back on via instant message, rather than taking 20 minutes away from somebody else by walking down to your computer, waiting for you to be available, so you can show me how your computer was freaking out on you.

^_^ Thanks everybody!"

but of course I'd never say that.
