Want to date me? You better follow some rules...here are some starters:
- Bring gifts (preferably from CompUsa)
- Never, ever say "I hate animals" OR "I hate technology" (I don't know which would be worse)
- Do something sexy - like send me a text message telling me how interesting and captivating I am while I'm in the ladies room. Don't know how to send a text message? Better order some Dom's.
Want to make up some rules of your own? Why don't you make some in Outlook - it might be easier to handle than I am. OK, in all seriousness, learning to create rules in Outlook can be a very powerful way to manage an unruly inbox. With rules you can automatically move emails from a certain person to a special folder or automatically accept all meeting requests from your Managing Partner. Now, I'm not going to sit here and recreate a "how to" on creating rules, the Internet is peppered with help. Instead, as your technologist, I am going to encourage you to learn and use them and point you to these sites that tell you how:
- Managing Messages by Using Rules from Microsoft
Using Rules to Organize Your Email from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
And by the way, these links are all for Outlook 2003. Still using Outlook Express or Outlook 2002? You don't have a chance. Rule #32: Use Current Technologies.
