Just got an E-mail from our Lan-Ops guy. Basically saying that all requests and issues need to go through a corporate helpdesk e-mail address with him CC'd (instead of just sending it straight to him).
So I decided to have a little fun.
I created a contact in my local Outlook. The contact's e-mail address was invalid (nowhere@nobody.xwa or something like that) - but the display name was the e-mail address of the helpdesk. And I made sure to put him as a CC.
The message read as follows:
"Mark XXXXX and I are still awaiting the DVD burners we’ve requested. It has been a few weeks since you had approved them. Your promptness will be greatly appreciated."
He's a nice guy, so I went over and told him just as he got the E-mail. He decided to play a trick on Mark (the other one requesting the DVD burner). He replied and made it look like he had copied the helpdesk again - saying that he now has to send an E-mail stating that the request was not approved - to his boss.
I'll have to edit this post once I see Mark's response.
