Too Many Thank You E-Mails

I’m having to write lots of these and was getting fed up entering, “Thanks, etc.” all the time and then just clicking Send.

So, I created Signature in Outlook called Thanks.

Now I just click Reply, Insert, Signature, Thanks, perhaps add a few words and then click Send.

Learn how to use signatures to save time and hassle.

I’ve also created one called Evil Empire for unwanted e-mails from countries that still use the death penalty.

Addenbrookes TV/Phone System

I suppose beggars can’t be choosers, but it is not good.  Cost is obviously an issue I don’t bother about, but whoever designed the system should be reducated.  Wires get entwined with each other  and the screens are distinctly user-unfriendly.

But my biggest gripe is that it doesn’t have BBC Radio 5 Live.  I could at least get that through the Internet in Hong Kong. But there is no wi-fi on wards here.  There should be!

Another point is that the Hong Kong system does the medical records too. But knowing a bit about computing in the NHS, I’m not surprised they got that one wrong.
