hrmm, im bound to get some sort of repremand for this

[jdev]

here at work, we have an interoffice box for technicians to communicate problems that are plaguing customers and just general tech answers to things that we may encounter on a daily basis.

so, it sometimes chaps my *** when people use this for other un-related crap, other than to work. I get enough junk mail in a day, I dont really need anymore.

so, here is the original email the guy sent:

I would like to announce my 3 year media3 anniversary. I hit 3 years last weekend. I would like to thank all the little people who made this possible, with training, advice, and teamwork. I would also like to also thank all the big people who haven't fired me.... yet.
Regards,
Derek

now. what I was going to say, was just a joke, and i will leave it to unka phil or other mod to determine whether it is a little edgy to post here. important fact about derek: he is a jehovas witness. here is what I wanted to send as a reply to him and everyone else that sees this:

i for one, dont care. If you further abuse the (email removed) address, which is to be used for tech correspondence only, not to announce unrelated issues, such as your 'anniversary' that nobody cares about.

step out of line like this again, and I will nail you to a cross, jesus style

warmest regards,

Joe

instead, I came up with this:

Derek,

I would like to accept gracious thanks from you for all the training, advice, and my diverted work from the team as a whole to help you. You are also welcome for me not firing you yet. I like ya kid, you've got spunk!

=)

I would have gone with the first one too. However that would not have been a smart career move!
