Today my church choir sang at the funeral of a parishioner
who had been 94 but looked about 65. He was a mailman for years, so maybe all
that walking around kept him young. Then I came back to work and had a terrible
shock: the folder containing all the documents explaining how to do the new
part of my job had disappeared! At first I was afraid someone had deleted it
entirely, but a coworker found it with a new name. At least it still existed,
but all my shortcuts and links within documents to other documents were broken,
so I just re-renamed it to its original name. Eventually I discovered who the
culprit was, and ironically it was a coworker who had had the same thing done
to her about a month ago, so you’d think she would know better. I guess it’s
just too easy to think a folder you don’t use yourself could have a more
descriptive name without thinking of the ramifications for the people who
actually use the documents within that folder. So I beg you, gentle readers, do
NOT rename folders that are not yours without asking around. This has been a
Famous Hat public service announcement.
