Am Cham: an open note
Listen kids, I feel I can say this to you all at Am Cham since we share drinks and all.
When you hire an intern to send out notices for the big event (to which I am already registered) do try to make sure you've properly sorted and categorized addresses, etc. as:
(a) I keep getting requests to pay for my participation. You got me $400 or so already, stop fucking bothering me three times a day.
(b)Do try to send the same notice only once, or maybe twice, not four fucking times a day.
(c) Try not to send invitations encouraging me to register for an event I am not only registered for, but fucking paid up!
(d) When setting up your email announcements, avoid active X controls - my anti-virus goes apeshit over this, and frankly an announcement or reminder doesn't need all the fancy bullshit you fine, over anxious folks put in. Really, it fucking doesn't at all.
(e) Do try to think less of trying to make above announcements look artful and think of the following : MAKE THEM FUCKING READABLE !!!!!
(f) Please, please, please, do not mass mail me with invitations to join your bumblefuck organization as well - not only am I fully paid up but also I regret being so (well, not so much always, I did invite you all down to one of our sites for a tour after all, and fed you all our super fish dinner on site). Annoying me further doesn't help.
PS: I did find the note about actually turning off one's cell phone during sessions and presentations useful. I do recall the last event I attended, where the moron down from me answered his fucking phone in the middle of the fucking session and started yapping on in Arablish. Better, though is the confiscation for the plenary session.
