Fast forward 1 1/2 years later after this post was written. My VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service allows me and is set up to record a voicemail as a wave file and sent to me as an email. Therefore when I'm on the phone and at my computer and decide to ignore the warning tone of an incoming call, my email notifier tells me someone has left a message with the text in the email giving me the telephone caller's number. What really blows my mind is that I'm paying less than half what I did with my traditional service with much more than twice as many features.

This is why we have instant messenger; later, when you're wondering whether she told you to make all tabs blue or red, you can retrieve the log file and answer your own question.

Interns/Analysts do enough grunt work already. No direction, no complete instruction, no concern for other projects and priorities...Generation Y is in for a real wake up call...that or management is going to wake up to them. I'm on the Gen Y/GenX border interning in London. Even at a startup boutique, where I rant about my experiences in my ibhell blog, there is no kindness to the little guy. I sit in the same room with the chairman and he's an ass! He will send emails all day and once he waited until 7pm on his way out to tell an intern HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He was trained in New York 15 years ago...no surprise. That is soo true! Interns/Analysts do enough grunt work already.
