Dude I am Dilbert way more than I would like to be.

I don't even know, maybe thankfully so, what a read receipt is.

Some people set it up so that when anyone that opens an email that they sent, they get back notification that somebody read it (and actually says who it was that read it).

But of course you have the option, as the recipient, not to send the receipt back. So every time you get one of those goddamn emails, this shit pops up on your screen when you open the message:




You can, of course, opt to check the box and never send receipts. But in some companies, you sometimes have to, so it's not an option to check that box.

First world problem.

Metals are in the shitter. Good time to be buying, bad time to be selling.

Now is the time (or very soon) to stock up on silver bullion, if you swing that way.

I don't swing the bullion way I guess
and it is a first world problem created by third world peeps for me.

Our engineer told me that when they first started e-mailing china (an improvement from the fax machine) you really weren't always sure it went through especially large documents, so a read receipt was common.

Personally....if you have such an urgent issue that you need to know the exact second I saw your e-mail..... just call me.

I'm only ever emailing our own franchises so I just nag them over the next week in whole new emails to respond.

Some franchises never respond. Some franchises get less informative leads than others.
