    Or when they address you by that descriptor. That's good as well.

    Thanks Coach!!!

    No, no, no. That is SSCoach. 😉

    All these levels beginning SS look a bit like Schutzstaffel ranks. :laugh:

    So should you be addressed as Herr SS-Hauptausbildungslehrführer? :hehe:

    Having a rank like that would be a war crime in itself.

    More a philological crime, I think. Although it might actually be a real word - "head training/teaching guide" is bound to be a single word in German (the language's philosophy appears to include "why use a four short words when one very long one will do"), but I haven't a clue what that word actually is so there's a distant possibility that the thing I stuck together is it.

  • Ever worked with someone who can't seem to handle answering more than one question in an email? I'll ask several related questions and receive an answer to one, so I'll reply and re-ask all the unanswered questions and get an email back answering one and have to repeat this until I get all my answers one at a time, if I'm lucky.

    Yeah, now that you mention it, I do see that in the forums a lot.

    Thank you Linn and Gylla

    Me too.

    I'm stealing these name spellings for a story. @=)

    You guys wanna be villains, heroes, or McGuffins?

    Evil Kraig always needs to be a McGuffin, simply because it's more ironic that way. 🙂

    Yup. The company I worked for was purchased by another company and basically everyone on the existing IT staff for that company was like that. I finally started sending an email per question one right after the other. It was the only way I could get all my questions answered. I even tried putting my questions in bullets and I'd still only get one answered per email.

    im lucky that i get asked questions so when i reply asking questions to solve there questions i get an answer to only one of the questions and have to repeat my questions then a week later get asked why i havent answered there question and ask them more questions.

    thats a lot of emails, no wonder i keep hitting 2 gig on my outlook pst. i love working in IT.
