I now know. Really.

Okay, this may not have been the wonderful idea I thought it might be.

This wasn't even a good idea. This might be a baaaaad idea.

Well, I started my first day last night. And before you ask, no, I'm not an administrator. I think it requires time, trust, comitment and a blood oath to get that far. But like I said, first day.

My main job is looking through emails and try to answer them if I can. More or less, I'm an on-line receptionist. Or a note taker since I don't actually talk to the person right at the moment I receive the message.

This is the only good thing I can find so far.

So I am given the task of looking through five e-mails and answering them to the best. I'm excite because these are real e-mails from real people!

I open it, all bright eyed and blissful, and realize something.

Real people really suck.

Due to the fact that giving out specific names is considered a no-no, we will use no pro-nouns. Though if you think this was your letter, by all means, claim it.

E-mail #1:

I hate this author. Can you get rid of 'em?

...

I re-read it a few times. Not because I didn't understand what it said. It was less then ten words. But that was all that was on the letter. It was a bit of a...dissapointment.

If I had any questions, I was suppose to ask questions. It was encouraged.

However...this made me feel like there was an easy answer here and I was just missing. It' like when you solve a math problem quickly, but the past problems were hard as hell and this one took five seconds.

I decided to do some research on the author.

By research I mean just look at the profile and see if there is something I'm missing/something I should hate.

The stories were...
you know...

either way, they typed at a highschool level and didn't appear to be doing any trouble.

I give in and forward the e-mail, asking for help also via messenger:

Me: I know it's my first e-mail, but this seems a little lacky of anything...
Sponser: Oh sure, send it over.
*Send mail*
Me: How do I repsond to this situation.
*five minutes*
Me: Hello?

It took about ten more mintues before they came on. They said they were laughing. To the point of tears.

Bastard.

I am eventually encouraged that I should reply with something along the lines of saying something about needing to bring evidence against said author. It was longer, but I didn't pay attention. I copied/pasted everything they told me word for word. They knew better.

I went onto my next e-mail:

E-mail #2:

Do you kno what happened to a story. well, that might not have been its name. It was about some crap summary and ended blah blah blah. Hope I didnt spoil anything! Anyways, can you tell me what happened.

I decided to check the other Emails out.

E-mail #3:

r u gonna chang 4matting back.?

E-mail #4:

I don't like what this author writes. Can you ban them?

E-mail #5:

How do I block adds?

No, this isn't a great idea.
