Debbie Downer

I know, I know! I haven't posted anything in a really long time. So here we go. There's a lady at work named Debbie, who is our office manager. She really lives up to the name, Debbie Downer. I think I'm just going to start posting the emails she sends out to staff.

Example #1

To add

2.scroll down to "open a shared calendar"
3.type name of person in the field (can enter any part of name as long as it is unique)
4.press ok

if you want to organize names, click and drag the name to place it where you want it to be located

Debbie

Wow, I'm really glad she clarified for us how to use Outlook.

Example #2

We don’t want to discourage anyone from using supplies in the first aid kits and expect you take supplies when someone is hurt. However, some of the supplies appear to be disappearing faster than expected since we got the new first aid kits.

Of course, Cintas will have to replenish supplies on occasion but we did not anticipate the level of expense we have incurred in the last couple of months. Therefore if you need a supply of band aids or antiseptic wipes/antibiotic ointment for your office space, please let me know so that I can purchase what you need from another source as this is much less expensive than having Cintas replenish supplies for us on a frequent basis.

If you happen to be working at the front desk when Cintas arrives to inspect/organize the first aid kits, please refer them to me so that I can verify and approve items to be replenished. If I am not available, please ask Myrna or Ed to help with this so that we can monitor our expenses
more closely.

Thanks and if you have questions about this, please let one of us know.

Debbie

Once again.... wow.

Example #3

Several of you have received an email from timmsdavid2002@yahoo.co.uk which in case you did not know is a scam/fraud. This email is a variation of other email scams that are sent to people on a daily basis trying to get you to send them money. I asked Appnuity to block the email domain (@yahoo.co.uk) that this person is using so you should not receive any more messages from anyone using this domain.

In the future, you should assume any email or phone messages you receive from a bank asking for personal information or a person asking for money is a scam. Banks will not contact you via email or via phone unless you initiate the communication with them. Also, anyone asking you for money to help them transfer funds to or from the USA is a scam artist out to get all of your hard-earned money. You should be very cautious when it comes to this type of email message or to phone calls from anyone asking for this sort of information.

Never respond, open any attachments or click on any links in the body of these messages as the people who send these messages often embed computer code into these messages to steal personal information from you.

Also, do not forward these messages to anyone. If you want, send me an email with the person’s email account so that I can contact Appnuity to have them blocked and then promptly delete the message from your inbox or junk email folder which by the way you should empty on a regular basis.

Thanks.
Debbie

I think I'm going to make this a regular thing, posting emails from Debbie Downer.
