Hmmm... my major categories in the last few weeks have been:
endless and fluff-filled 'newsletters' from president of university which includes 1 para update on his latest travel, 1+ para on sports teams, 1 para on obscure award won by someone no one knows, 1 para total and utter managementese saying fucknuthin, one brief para giving yet more bad news about the financial situation, concluding chirpy para about how much we all love it here.
thousands of 'reply to all' mistakes with deeply personal and/or highly offensive content, followed by the storm of responses to all pointing out the original response to all error, the apology/explanation, the recriminations, hurt feelings and escalations, and then the 'fine, I don't like you anyway' one that signals the start of the next round.
'The Very Expensive CMS has crashed! Nothing will be available because we don't know why it happened' followed, three hours later by 'The Very Expensive CMS is now working about - but we don't know why' repeat infinitely.
I am glad it came out. Also, that you got your badge, unlike so many. (If you haven't had your badge, I promise, promise I sent them - drop me another email that says "another badge please". Canada Post = shit.

Fear-bombs! Tell me about fear bombs. That item has an asterisk which is never resolved.
Many of these items will be annihilated by teh whoel working-from-home thing, n'est-ce pas?
Do you think there is someone somewhere whose entire job consists of making up words like "sphingee" for the word verification thingummybob?
Solari and Your Royal Monkeyness, you both sound jolly smart. Would either of you like a job? Decent pay and all the water you can drink. Word.
