I'll give you an example. Someone had their special spoon nicked . Yesterday, we had a couple of emails announcing the theft, now we've had an email saying that someone had left a spoon in the soup bowl owned by the emailer above, but it was the wrong spoon.

Now, this begs the question: If the spoon was that valuable, why did the person not leave it in their desk drawer? All the staff have lockable desk drawers (actually pedestals).

And I won't even mention the amount of emails we get sent if someone suggests a change of procedure...

Thank goodness I'm not part of that sort of thing any more.It was bad enough getting messages in my pigeon hole every day several times a day.The thought of endless emails about such puerile crap would drive me nuts.

Now when I'm in school there are no messages for me..I haven't got a pigeon hole OR a school email.
