Seems like Monday will be a good day to call in sick... I just found out we're going to have somewhere between 200 and 250 tickets created by HR over the weekend...
Over a weekend? Is this a 24/7 place that HR would be working weekends anyway, or special circumstance?
I'm sensing a mass hire event.

Actually, this time, it's a special circumstance combined with a mass (re)hire. We switched payroll processors at the end of June / Beginning of July.
But, being a college, we also always have a bit of churn at the beginning of Fall and end of Spring. But this round could easily be described as a fuster cluck.

How did anyone think that was a good idea?
They learned from Gilligan.

LOL - yeah I have email chains like that at times.
I've been given a directive - If I have questions in an email they must be at the top of the email. apparently the information which is what makes answering the questions more possible is annoying.

Heh. The beauty of it is the inane question actually came from the person telling me not to ask inane questions.
I was asked to clarity "yes." In retrospect I was probably too curt; however, given the context of the original E-mail, I was literally asked if I was interested in [the thing], so "yes" seemed pretty clear.
