"Yes, these emails do build up quickly when you're not here for a couple of days don't they?"
"Why don't I get them forwarded to the communal email account so that if I'm not here someone else can print them off?"
"That's a good idea!"

*forwards emails to ejournals inbox*
*is off work in agony for three days*

"Did no one print off those emails while I was away?"
"Oh, we thought that was something you had to do."

*headdesk*

Anyone know of any jobs going? I think the Macdonalds near me is hiring, maybe I should have a look at that...

Nothing could possibly be as bad as MacJob?
Sympathies.

I'm almost decided it would be worth it to be honest. Not quite there yet, and I've got the day off tomorrow (gas man's coming hopefully to fix my thermostat! Yay!) so I'm kinda easing myself in gently...

Maybe not Macdonalds though - there's a KFC just across the road from them, I could try there.... *g*

:) Had a meeting with my boss late on about something else and she mentioned having checked the email box at the end of last week - I jumped in with "Yeah, no one had printed off the alert emails." She looked kinda guilty... *g*

Maybe you should take some time to write a comprehensive list of things that need doing which other people can access when you're away... and maybe stick it on all their monitors... That way they can't say they didn't know...

I'll have to check my list has everything on for May though...

Glad you're feeling better... and hope the gas man fixeth the problem.

We have meetings all the time where each of our roles is defined and lately there have been a lot of comments about making sure everyone can cover everyone else's caseload if needs must. Looks like it's all talk... *g*

Oh my STARS! I can see where McDonald's might be looking like a terrific alternative right now...
