At least you aren’t like the people where I work. They put a quota on the network shares so they started using their mail file for “Document Storage”. Let’s just say the email admins were NOT happy.

Our email has already been policed, otherwise I would. Email is automatically deleted after 45 days, and your email folders have a limit of 200MB total. Including the deleted messages.
Keep in mind I work almost exclusively with images, so both my email and this new shared storage idea are crippling to my productivity. About the only thing I’ve gotten faster at is losing my cool.

As an IT guy, I was rolling. You know these quotas are only pranks for us to laugh at how fast users fill them up, and make us feel like Gods. They have to grovel and beg for our permissions to increase server size. BWAHAHAHA. Anyway, Have a great week Joe. Good luck with the space gods.

I like to drop it down 6 MB just for the fun of it on random unsuspecting users.

And if you make us mad. . “Oh wow, your sector of the main drive and all raid arrays seems to have gone bad, I hope you have no plans this weekend since you will have to re-build all those hours of reports and proposals.”

I knew I was afraid of computer guys for a reason.
Until they make provisions for the kind of file sizes I’m working with, I’m keeping it all on my local hard drive, thankyouverymuch.

Ha, hilarious. Now, I love my job too much to pull pranks like these. Moreover, I don’t think we have any quota on anything. Thank heavens.
I did send one of my colleagues one of those “this simple html will kill IE because IE users are stupid” links. Seeing him all sad and baffled was great fun. He was like the third guy bottom right. Priceless, I tell ya.

He he Nils, that’s the beauty of it. I was only following their specific instructions. The flaw is in the system that they are trying to squeeze everyone into.
Three Gigs won’t even back up one of the multiple image libraries I use on a weekly basis…and they want everything on the server? They may want to rethink that strategy.

BC – you’re starting to scare me a little bit. Just a little, though.
Q – Sometimes they just have no idea, do they?
