Rant number 158
Nearly every job in an office environment these days involves e-mails. I don't even want to think about how many e-mails I've answered in my working life. Probably enough to pile them all up and make a very tall pile...
Mostly, e-mails are on topic - which is fine. Queries, things that need to be sorted out etc etc. They might get on my nerves fair enough - but they are my job to work through.
At least 3 times a week, week after week, month after month & year after year however, a different type of e-mail has started to turn up: the sales e-mail.
You see, when you have any web presence at all these days - money is to be made: which means that someone else thinks they can get some.
'We can improve your web presence' is a common phrase.
'Search Engine Optimisation' is another.
And what do these things me? It means - give us money and we will do something you could do yourself.
I mean - don't get me wrong, you might need to pay google to get pushed up the rankings, but paying someone else in the middle is not going to make things any cheaper.
And the persistence of these idiots is just infuriating. They can all do it better, cheaper and more efficiently than any of the other idiots who offer the same thing.
Do they really think that I can down in the last shower?
The rediculousness of sending off unasked for e-mails to every company online, just on the off change that some idiot may take them up on it.
If only there was some way of creating some kind of reply e-mail - that would cause the reader to have a spontaneous, wet and messy bowel movement, I might be able to put a stop to this kind of thing!
If anyone has any suggestions on how I could accomplish that, that would be pretty cool!
Rant over.
