I think my previous employer is finally getting the hang of all this information technology. Through the magic of mail forwarding, I received the following automatonic note from their next-to-useless intranet server:

Subject: Please update your oneplace profileDate: 10/10/2001 01:37 PMFrom: email hidden; JavaScript is required: Grant Hutchinson, email hidden; JavaScript is required Hello Grant, This email has been sent to you by request, because your current oneplace profile may be missing some critical information. Here is a brief list of some of the items which may be missing from your record:

  1. Professional Title
  2. Work Address
  3. Job Roles

By supplying us with a thorough profile, you are helping maintain a useful system for all of our users. Please pay special attention when filling out your Job Roles, being sure to make a complete list of all of your responsibilities and skills. To update your personal record now, simply follow this link and log in using your oneplace password: http://intranet.seattle.gettyimages.com/ Thank you for your cooperation in helping us to build a better Intranet! GettyImages — oneplace

Golly, I wonder why my employee profile would be missing critical information such as professional title, work address, and job roles? Do you think it might be because I haven’t worked there for six months, you morons.
