Trying to avoid the mollycoddle muddle

posted in education |

In fantasyland (not to be confused with the Capitalized version), the latest defense is the “foggy mirror”.  You probably used it, if you were ever four years of age. When accused of something, simply say that the other person must have done it to themself. No other explanation possible, or necessary.

You see, Canada is watching the parliamentary games. Buffoonery. During the last election, one party couldn’t have maliciously used “robocalls” (I’d explain, but it doesn’t make sense when you write it out)… because… the other party was phoning itself and handing out misleading information. See. No crime committed.

I get tired. Not from getting up too early, or paying taxes beyond my means. No, I get really tired by all the crap handed out by my employees. If there is a politician that deserves his/her paycheque, let him/her raise his/her hand. In the absence of a sign, I’ll accept that you are all crooked, self-serving [nasty, nasty words that my mother and father don’t appreciate]. You make it hard for me to teach moral probity to my offspring.

Did something different today, at work. I extracted the names and extension numbers of all employees with a “phone profile”, and then I created multiple, sorted lists. In case someone needs to find someone else, and is unable to figure out the (simple) search button on their telephone. Is it fair to say that users are mollycoddled? A resounding yes from my corner. On a similar note, we sent out an email to our users, warning about phishing. Some users responded, with a copy of their identifier and password. Hopeless!
