The Hardest Part of Going Back to Work…

Category: From My Life — Jeremy Wright @ 9:46 am

I’m back at work today for the first time in 3 weeks.

The hardest part? At home I have Office 2003. So when new email comes in I get a little “toast” popup telling me who it’s from and what the subject line is. I didn’t realise how useful this was for saving me time until I got back to work.

Outlook 2000. No toasty popup. Every email I have to jump into Outlook to see if it’s worth my time: which is a waste of time.

God bless Microsoft. Grrr @ work.

    Same problem here. Windows XP, latest updates, but still on Office 2000. Argh. Even Office XP would be better (nicer UI at least, Office 2000 looks like crap on XP).

    You “business and tech” blog seems to be all about you and not about business or even tech.

    With an Exchange server? I don’t think so, not yet at least.
