I’m sorry for your loss TNM. Thoughts and best wishes to you and yours.
Thinking of you TNM and you too NCTibby. Hugs all around!
I am sorry to hear about your Grandma. Sending a hug.
Thanks everyone for the good thoughts. Her funeral is tomorrow, naturally I won’t be going, but once it’s all settled I’ll spend some time with her.
That just sucks that you can’t go because of your “family.” (I put it in quotes because, well, you know.) Be strong and give 'em hell and give your grandma lots of metaphysical smiles. 
The Mrs. didn’t get her job. She feels poopy. 
I’m sorry to hear that, I was pulling for you guys
really sorry to hear that man…
…a better one will come along…always does
Sending good thots your way TNM.

Sorry to hear that. Bummer.
Well that frakkin sucks! :mad:
Indeed. She really wanted this one. But she starts a new temp assignment on Thursday, which actually has better hours and better pay (just no benefits). So, income balance will be restored and our savings will get a break for a couple of months.
Meanwhile, I am so FRAKKING busy I really shouldn’t be on here. I’ve caught up with all of my work, for now, but now need to pack for New York.
As always, hang in there. We’re pulling for you.
I am sorry she did not get the job, but she did get a better one for now. Hang in there.
This may seem a little petty compared to most of the posts here but as you’ll see I feel strongly about it nonetheless:
steps up on soapbox and raises fist defiantly to the sky
Lotus Notes, Lotus Notes, LOTUS FRAKKING NOTES!!!
We switched to Lotus Notes a year ago from a M$ by-product and I’ve never seen a more un-productive bit o’ software in my LIFE.
OK, I’ve never seen a more un-productive bit o’ software in my LIFE apart from that exercise in BASIC in which your program spits out “HELLO WORLD” when executed. At least that made me smile when I finished it. All I want to do when I send an email from Lotus Notes is call the recipient and apologize profusely before they receive it.
Hyperlinks? Gotta make 'em yerself. Oh, except they’re not CALLED hyperlinks any more, they’re now called “Hotspots”.
Two different reply buttons, “Reply” and “Replay to All”, WITH or WITHOUT history. Why? WHY WHY WHYWHY WHY!?!?!?
slams head on desk
Want to organize messages into your own folders? Sorry, NOPE. Can’t do it.
Want to refresh your inbox? Press F11. What’s that you say? Every other Windoze program uses F5? Well that’s interesting, we’re going to fix something that isn’t broken. You’re welcome.
PS-and if you’re a creature of habit you’re going to need to change your ways, because as a joke we re-assigned F5 to LOG YOU FRAKKING OUT. Get ready to enter that username and password, you silly, productive person.
Looking for your attachment(s)? They’re at the bottom, hope your mouse scroll wheel works. Have fun.
and some of it is just plain stoopit:
The “New Memo” (yes, it’s a memo, not a mesage) button icon is an open folder, what EVERY OTHER WINDOWS program uses for “Open File”. Why? WHAY WHY WHY WHY WHY!?!?!?
Ever seen a program hung in Windoze that you can’t end by killing the process? Believe it or not there is ONE out there, and it is called Lotus Notes. But that’s OK because the designers are aware of the issue and buried an executable in the Lotus Notes file directory that KILLS Lotus Notes where it lives. The icon is (fittingly) a black skull.
The instant messenger is called “Sametime”, that just makes no sense to me.
Thank you, good night.
slips off of soapbox, dislocates shoulder and bruises cocyx when he falls on a box of kittens and puppies someone thoughtlessly left beside soapbox.
Went for my first visit to a regular “special ladies doctor” today. I know it’s important to do, but DAMMIT warm up them things first!
The things ladies have to endure.
Oh I agree it’s pretty inconsequential in the big scheme of things but boy do I feel your pain! And let’s just say, it’s not the only user-unfriendly product made by that company that drives me nuts!

Out of curiosity, what version are you using? I’m using one that’s at least two years old that does let you organize messages into folders (although the “create folder” command is in the most unintuitive place I can think of). Also, on mine not only does pressing F9 refresh (not F11) but of course F5 logs me out and makes me retype my password again to get back to my inbox. I hate that! headdesk

LOL! killnotes.exe FTW

You mean “Lametime”? 
No worries, your rant was the best I’ve heard in a while.
From web programming to software design, poor programming needs to be recognized as an ethical issue.
