Desktop search. I think I need one of those, though my pile isn't quite that high.

Word and e-mail are very much to blame for the deluge of memos (paper or electronic) these days. When you had to get a secretary to type up a memo, proof read it, etc. is was fairly self limiting. Where I worked about 15 years ago HR used to deluge people with memos and were told to go electronic when the MD decided to cut down the paper (no not the Times and FT) bill. On their first attempt they virused nearly every PC in the place bar a few of us cynics who when we saw the title decided not to bother reading the 'carp'!

When I was at school (sixties/seventies) my parents probably only got two or three communications per year. Now younger friends get one or two per week (paper and electronic). One family get a daily report including the eating and toileting of their four year old at nursery. They have asked, without success, can they just be contacted if something is out of the ordinary! The world has gone mad! 😀

Have HR send the memo to IT for the desktop search.

Yes. All true...except that the world hasn't gone mad. It always was. Computing has just found more productive ways of highlighting it.
