susandennisSince I moved to a cube in the room with the engineers and out of the room with the Twinkies, I have not had first hand account of their day to day trials and tribulations. As nice as this is for me, I'm afraid that it has really not been fair to you. But, weep no more. The Twinkies are at it again.
1. Twinkie #1 sends me an email this morning asking for a password. Now, this is a password that is sent out to all the sales people once a month. It is also posted on the front page of our intranet and on the page that also contains all of the collateral that these sales people use every day. Oh and Twinkie #1 sent the email to me and to the office manager. Now, the office manager has absolutely nothing to do with the password, the publication of the password or the intranet. But, her name is Susan Ray and she is old like me. So, what have we learned here?
a. Twinkies suffer from Susan Confusion (even in a company of 40 employees)
b. No amount of notification, apparently, is sufficient for a Twinkie unless it is about a reality TV show.
2. Twinkie #3 managed to erase Outlook on her PC this morning. Now, this is not something I had to deal with (we know this because Twinkie #3 is still alive). But Kenny, who sits next to me, should be designated a saint.
3. Twinkie #2 didn't come in today. Sorry.

Twinkies are a sub-species of the rare California Valley Girl...And hence are protected by The US Fish & Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Program.
Check for certified relocation release sites in your area, usually marked with the words "Mall" or "Galleria." Empty your traps there.
Unfortunately the Twinkie return rate is nearly 100 percent by the next day, but at least it gives you a quiet afternoon.
Cheers!

Twinkie will swear she has "no idea" what happened. All she knows is she "can't get email" (well duh)
Even scouring the hard drive won't turn up the lost application: it really *is* gone - once again proving you can't underestimate the power of idiots.

I obviously need more to do. Tomorrow I think they come off again.
