mrsbrownOn Wednesday I was asked into the HR manager's office for a "quick chat".
On Thursday, before leaving work for the last time ever, I carefully saved my useful work email as a .pst file.
I don't have Outlook and my quick search reveals that any software which advertises it's ability to convert or read .pst files will only work if you have Outlook installed on your computer.
If I had Outlook, I wouldn't need a .pst reader - I'd already have one.
F%^&%$king Microsoft!!!

I think I will be using your Outlook to convert this file to something more useable.
Buggerissimo!

Date: 2007-02-24 09:54 pm (UTC)I'm a bit excited to be honest. I'm looking forward to the challenge of working somewhere new and quite happy to spend a couple of weeks on Festival preparation.
OTOH, maybe I'll spend some days on the couch when the adrenalin wears off. So thanks for the hug.
