Today at work I was informed that along with the paper work I’ve put togeather detailing internet usage, I’m probably going to get asked to start monitoring joke email usage, i.e. I’m supposed to monitor all emails that may/may not contain jokes, funny images, video’s etc.

How cosidering that our company recieves large quantity’s of emails that contain images, powerpoint presentations, word documents, exel spreadsheets and the odd occasionaly video file, so someone explain to me how I’m going to stop joke emails, seeing as most joke emails are either Images or are contained within word documents, exel spreadsheets, ok I can maybe stop the video files as the company does’nt really get those for any business purposes, but to stop the rest I’ll have to bloke every single email that comes into the company and then vet them indivually. . . .

Sometime you’ve just got to laugh, this person has now told her staff that apparently this persons son, who works at a computer shop has told this person how to access our mail server and allow this person to view all emails and this person’s counted all the joke one’s and there were 35 yesterday bouncing round and this person’s not happy about it . .

Now hold on a minute, I don’t remember telling this person the passwords for the mail server or showing this person how to connect to it, so I hardly think I’ve shown this person’s son either . .what a load fo crock, so this person’s son who does’nt even work for the company and has never been on the company premises let alone touched a company PC now’s more about our system then I do . . . makes me laugh, there are better uses of time then wasting it, chasing up people who send jokey emails, how about actual work . .
