Re: IMs and such

The real problem, I suppose, is everyone has different priorities associated with their positions. So while conference room scheduling may be WWIII important to the person in charge of that, the plumbing technicians could care less. What we need is some kind of "need to know" policy for sending e-mails in the first place. Of 150 employees, maybe 10 need to be reminded about scheduling conference rooms; maybe three need to know about a change in the price of PVC pipe. I am not in either of those select groups.

Not really if you use it properly i.e. not for junk mailings. From a

company
standpoint if you are working at quoting out an order and the price just
drastically changed, it will not be quoted at the wrong amount....

My guys at work get messages from me ... of course, if something goes up a
few pennies they don't, but when something doubles in price, you can bet
it

is flashing on their screens!

Well it's just wrong.



I doubt it Kitty.... sounds like it is generated by the internal

server,

which means you can't mess with it....

Donna



? You mean these inter-office emails just pop-up on your screen in

the

middle of what you are doing?  If so, surely you can modify that to

a

simple
notification on your toolbar or some such thing.
Mastered the camera yet?

We don't have IMs at work, but we do have new mail

notification--and

it's only different in degree. And I really like it. I really

enjoy

being on deadline and having some moron interrupt what I'm trying

to

do

with some sort of trivia about scheduling conference rooms or

having

hired yet another day laborer. I may, one day soon, go postal when

I

get the next notification that PVC pipe has gone up 0.002 percent

and

prices are being adjusted accordingly.
