We have a tech support company and every time I make a request I'll get a string of emails, each saying that the ticket has been assigned to a person ... but I'll get up to five, each saying that it's been passed on to another person. They don't actually DO anything, they just pass it on.
As an extreme of CamelCasing, years ago I worked for a group that had hired the son of one of the higher-ups. He was an aspiring actor and felt that much of the office work was beneath him. When assigned to do a big job of data entry, he, um, AMUSED himself by using alternate lower case and upper case letters - as in ThE qUiCk BrOwN fOx JuMpEd OvEr ThE LaZy DoG. So someone had to go in and redo it in something resembling normal text (not me!).
I like Amy's version of CamelCase.
Just had an unexpected win with a Faccebook "friend" from high school admitting he doesn't actually have good sources for information on Planned Parenthood's services. Hooray for speaking up!

I provide some tech support and we have three levels - tickets come in and get escalated to me and if I can't help, they get escalated to the development team. Sometimes the dev team and I go back and forth trading information and the ticket gets passed back and forth. I am SO GLAD the user doesn't get notified with each change.
-t, YAY for "friend" actually using his brain. Now if he will think critically...the world might be a better place.
Timelies all!
Health~ma, Zen!
Surgery~ma for your mom, Steph.
Good thoughts for your mom, Steph.
I hope everyone is doing ok with the surgeries and blood and bad days.
we have reach the annual fight about following summer house rules after the free week off from school.
relatedly, I love my bluetooth headphones and am about to watch more walking dead.
does anyone here collect Vernonware Gingham?
new level of disobedience from the child. He called and ordered two pizzas for delivery. They just showed up. Lucky for him I had just paid him for chores yesterday, so I transferred the cost I had to put on my card out of his account. Also he ran away when they showed up and I have no idea where he is, but he is locked out. I have half a mind to dump the pizzas in the dog poop filled back yard.
Oh, mac.
I have had a pretty good day, ftr.
