Which One Is The "Any" Key?

People are stupid. Just when I begin to have doubts about this fact, something happens to erase those doubts. Monday at work someone in the IT department sent out a global email about a laptop update process that was due on the 31st of December. Now granted, global emails can sometimes be a bad idea, but the response in this case was much worse. The first reply rolled in a few minutes later: “Oh, I couldn’t update my laptop because I was on vacation, blah, blah, blah.” Then the next one: “I shouldn’t have received this message, I don’t even have a laptop.” Then: “I think you have the wrong person”. On and on it went. “I think you have the wrong Preston Muchinsonton” “There’s no need to hit 'reply all' PLEASE STOP”, and my personal favorite, quoted exactly as written: “FIX THIS EMIAN PLEASSE WRONG PEOPLE KEE P RECEIVING.” I had to set up a rule to send all of these emails to my junk mail folder. By the time the dust settled the total was around 250 of these emails. Sweet Jebus. Are people really still this f’in clueless about using email? Yes, yes they are. No wonder we haven’t cured cancer. Or cancelled “According to Jim”.

In an unrelated note I think we all need to observe a moment of silence for someone who passed away recently. And I think this is someone who had a more direct impact on most of our lives than Gerald Ford or James Brown. No, not the Scooby Doo guy (although how weird that I just mentioned Muttley on Friday). I speak of Momofuku Ando. None other than the creator of instant Ramen noodles. Come on, I know every single one of you has eaten instant Ramen noodles. Anyone been to the Ramen noodle museum?
