Stuff I Wonder

Okay, so you know how when you send email you can create a signature line that will always show up at the end of the message? It typically contains your contact information, location, etc. Well, I often wonder why people put their EMAIL ADDRESS in that signature line. I mean, doesn't the recipient get your email address when you send them a message???? I see it all the time at work and I think to myself "Why Why Why?!" Maybe people feel more important if they have tons of crap in their signature. I put my job title, phone number & building number. If you want my fax, you can call me for it. I don't want random faxes from people anyway.

Why are toasters, coffee pots, and espresso machines (all without automatic shut-off) considered "approved appliances" for an office yet a toaster oven (with automatic shut-off) is a shunned device?

Why do we need a doctor's note to have a space heater in our cubicle? My doctor does not care in the slightest if my feet stay warm at my desk. And you mean I have to schedule an appointment in my 'free' time and pay a co-pay because you chimps can't keep the A/C set at a humane temperature? Oh, I jumped through all the hoops. But I didn't like it. I do like being warm however. I guess it was worth it in the end.

Why does the office supply girl think we all need 10 different calendars or planners each year but make it an act of congress to get a freakin new toner cartridge for our printer? We almost resorted to robbing the supply cabinet of some other group. I'm sure there is a rule against stealing from another group...but there should also be a rule against printing things that come out invisible.

I will never know the answer to these things.
