I’ve discovered that a picture is worth a thousand words when dealing with some of my less than gifted colleagues at The Work. It amuses me when I end up drawing a diagram like this:
To explain to one of them why a chain email of “cats doing funny stuff LOL” didn’t reach anyone when he sent it. It seemed easier to just blame a giant black hole in the IT department than to continue fruitlessly trying to explain attachment size limitations, firewalls and how crap it is to get these emails when I can just look at the damn things on http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/. I was polite enough to avoid telling him that the two planets could just as easily be replaced with his ears…
