Default i <3 ducking with people

this guy, one of the 6 of the "maintenance admins" including me fucked up in a trouble ticket with something he definitely should have known so I decided to fuck with him a little bit.

Body: For those of you that are new (because I know people that have been here for a while definitely would know this), if you get the error listed above, that means that the account is not built in postini. This is something that we can do in house and everyone should have access to. If you do not know how to do this, please ask one of the senior technicians as we all should be able to show you the procedures.
I printed out the e-mail and in 144 pt font under it put "LOL @ ######" (The numbers being the ticket number) and put it on his desk.

I check my email from home last night and here is the convo

I thin[k that both gestures were very unprofessional and hateful and I’d appreciate it if you would stop singling me out in this way. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time yet no one gets singled out and harassed on such a frequent basis. If you have a problem with me come to me with it, because these games are childish.

Furthermore, it was 144 font.

Thank you.

I will, however, discontinue any direct correspondence with you in regards to mistakes that you make. I'm sure this will definitely help you learn.

I can guarantee, though, that you'll forever remember what to check if you see "psmtp" in an email bounce. That was the goal and it worked. This has been sent out by me on several occasions before and both Jared and Joey thought it ludicrous that this was something that you didn't know. I send out e-mails for a reason. If something gets missed and it affects a customer, I point it out. This helps things, not hinders. It's simply a matter of personal preference.

Also, to make myself totally clear, the "LOL @ Ticket" wasn't my idea, I just knew that it'd get the point across so I carried it through.

As far as I'm concerned this is resolved. Thank you.
sometimes i crack me up.

Handled like a true pro

IMO "LOL @ something/someone" doesn't constitute harassment or hostility :shrug:

This is coming from someone who can be easily "butthurt" from time to time (<I don't mind setting others up for j/ks at my expense)

But it wouldn't be funny if only you and him saw it, and not as funny if only the other admins.

This guy has a superiority complex and is a pathological liar and an attention whore, amongst other things. One day he left his computer unlocked and I started snooping around and found his resume. He called himself a "Senior Network Operations Center Technician" when in fact his title is "Maintenance Administrator." He also said he was the "supervisor of the night crew." :rofl:
