I hope this email finds you well.
Oh, man. Email is a real bitch. The context for me when I say this is the shipping industry and/or the software developers for shipping software.
If you ask more than one question, take your pick, just one will be answered. “Please see below?” You’re going to get asked a question that could’ve been answered by “please see below.” These dumbfucks will go out of their way to make anything as grating as possible. Send an attachment? “Oh my ancient-ass Outlook Express is too fucked up to show me that.” S/MIME? “Can’t read your email!” JSON? “What’s that, we run a cobbled SOAP someone wrote back in 1999.”
People can’t figure out threading if it were to save their life. Add in a bunch of douchebag hotshots between separate threads, discuss four different accounts between three threads, why not? Apparently email is a complicated brand new technology that office workers have yet to master but sure let’s conduct all of our business on it forsomefucking reason.
Fuck
