Feels good to be well again, and just in time for gym, lunch, a sunny Saturday, then a nice curry dinner and games night with friends.

Ah, the subtle invitation. I like that.

Background: we have the most annoying email filter — any string of 16 numbers will get the whole email blocked.

Upstairs: Hey did you guys send the weekly roundup last week? Still haven't received it
> Me: Yes we never skip a week
> Upstairs: Oh so it must have gotten blocked again. Would you mind re-sending it please?

It certainly does.

But when it comes from certain people in the office, it means absolutely nothing, because they're always disorganised.

Monday:

Me: Can you send that price list today please?
> $S: Working on it
> $S: Oh by the way we might have some extras [nice stuff] to add on there, would you be interested?
> Me: Yes please — can you send it before end of day?
> $S: Oh in that case I'm going to need a little while longer to work on it
> Me: How long?
> $S: Not sure, will get it to you ASAP

Tuesday:

Me: Hello?
> $S: Working on it
> Me: Thanks
> $S: Oh by the way I'm going to send it to everyone at the same time, not just you, so I'll need a response ASAP
> Me: So when are you going to send it?
> $S: Working on it

Wednesday:

$S: Perhaps it'd be better if you wait a bit so everyone takes what they want, then I can let you have some more time to work on the stock?
> Me: Uh…okay…

Thursday:

$S: Sent you the file, let me know ASAP.

Thursday:

$S: Hello?

Thursday:

$S: Let me know please!

The former.

Why is it that contact managers cannot seem to handle names in multiple languages?!

Yes, it's rather silly that they don't think of that.

I've mentally designed my ideal setup.
