Today has been one of my more productive days at the office, and it’s only 9 AM. I’ve cleared out our joint inbox, I’ve answered the customers who were waiting for answers, I’ve reorganized my desk and I’ve discovered the cure for HIV*.
Who knew that being productive and good at my job was this easy?
* I haven’t really discovered the cure for HIV.
Every now and again, a new abbreviation is born and spreads the Internet like wildfire. I’d like to make a suggestion for one that I think needs to be used, an abbreviation that speaks to a situation so common that I think every office worker has needed it.
It’s the sort of abbreviation that you’ll be wanting to throw out there every time your “Press this button to get the answer” is met with a simplistic “how i get answeR?”
The abbreviation is RMPEA, pronounced “rum-PEE-ah”. It’s short for Read My Previous E-mail Again.
You’re welcome.
“The rallying cry of the 1960′s was Love and Peace. The 2010′s brought us Openness and Free Expression. The groundswell against SOPA and PIPA isn’t just a reaction to the censorship, it’s the reaction to a real threat to these values we hold closest to our hearts. This is a generation who has seen the erosion of influence from voters to corporate interests with money. The only power that remains in the hands of this generation is their self expression, and SOPA/PIPA sought to restrict this last bastion. This is the zeitgeist of their anger.” —

I’m having some really strange issues with my RSS feed right now, so it’s not an issue on your end. The problem means that many old posts are reappearing as unread new posts all the time.
I hope the problem will be fixed during the week, so stay tuned.
