#I used a template for the email

[unpretty]

outlook's absolute refusal to pop notifications for shared mailboxes is going to make me insane ftr

#original #boring work stuff #i even tried a workaround where i added the shared mailbox as a distinct account #it's still turbofucked #and god help you if you use email templates #i'm going to end up switching back to thunderbird i swear to god

The University of Brighton has announced its plans to make over 100 academic staff redundant in an effort to save costs despite clear signs of financial mismanagement evidenced by the University's recent investments. These redundancies threaten 400 academic staff and the School of Humanities in particular, and show the University's disregard for humanities and social science teaching and research.

Added to this is the University's most recent and sudden decision to permanently shut down Brighton's public Centre for Contemporary Art gallery.

Students at Brighton have taken to occupy executive offices in a peaceful protest for the last week, but articles are now coming out of the alleged mistreatment and verbal abuse from University staff who are intent on removing the students without meeting any demands. The occupying students have only one - no redundancies.

If you are a UK resident, by signing this petition you can show support to staff, students and the public who are opposing the plans for redundancies. If you live outside of the UK, please share this post.

If you are a current, prospective or past student at UoB or a member of another UK University, please consider also showing your support to the Humanities area here by following instructions to email your views to University executives.

University of Brighton staff plan strike in protest at over 100 proposed redundancies

Students occupy university offices over job cuts

University goes to court to stop student protest

The situation at the University of Brighton is worsening – but we’re fighting for justice

#i highly highly encourage anyone who is involved in the uk HE sector to use the templates to email executives #i have received an albeit lackluster response to my email but it shows that these are being at the very least seen #a bit of a personal one but i am begging you guys to share so it reaches the right audience #thank you #uk #higher education #university of brighton #uob

it is nerve wracking sending emails to teachers telling them about your name and pronouns and shit but the replies are very rewarding

#lgbtq #trans #transgender #fucking hate emails #god fucking damn it #jeeesus christ #i literally have a template written out that i use without fail every time i have to email teachers about name things #if anyone wants it lemme know #so excited for school to start honestly #i can finally get away from my sibling #i love them #i do #but they have a texturally challenging personality at best #and marching band! #yay!

[swagging-back-to]

is literally anything better than an employer emailing YOU asking YOU if you want to work for them and offering TWENTY AN HOUR plus every benefit known to man?

#i love having a good resume #takes 99% of the work out of it #i dont even have to apply to jobs i have employers offering me the position outright #and im not even that qualified to work with kids #im like the most unqualified #i was like hell fucking yeah im interested in this position SIGN ME UP for 20 an hour hell fuckign yes #five days a week full time?? fuck yes i will #besties i cannot recommend making your resume according to ATS standards enough. most of you have incredible resumes and qualifications #but the employers simply cannot see it and youre being filtered out by the ai program they use #ik a lot of resume templates use double columns but DO NOT use columns. keep it simple. one column no extra colors or formatting. #and write DETAILED descriptions of everything you are responsible for. Make sure you use common key words that work for all jobs as well as #specialized keywords for any niche roles you want to go in to. #put whatever youre most confident in at the top. #like i am absolutely not qualified and i do not have work history (literally one job in my life) but simply bc my resume is made for ats #i get these emails ALL the time.

Got a perfect grande on this one essay I wrote for german literature class and my teacher sent me an email with the highest compliments 😭😭

#he said he loved reading it and that he wasnt going to use his usual grading template cause it was like perfect aahh #I can't believe it I went red reading the email it was just so nice #rambles

[kingdom-dance]

So this new job has been great except for some reason today is “be kind of a bitch to me” day I guess

#had a parent of a client not answer my question about scheduling (I have been trying to get a response from her and emailed her THRICE) #and when I sent the last emailed and accidentally called her kid the wrong name(I was working on someone else’s paperwork so mixed them up) #she just responds ‘lol who is ____??’ once again not acknowledging the question at all #like now I don’t want to meet with you you’re kind of being an asshole get wrecked lady I asked you a question multiple times #and a coworker shut down my idea at the team meeting of helping streamline the report Template bc honestly it’s a fuckin mess #they’re so used to it and like don’t want to change anything even though it will make life easier and aligns with how PROFESSIONAL reports #are written #like literally insinuated that working on it would not even be worth her time when our boss asked who of the senior members could help me #just make it better and easier for us #like ok idk who shit in y’all’s oatmeal but take it down a notch #but honestly I cannot complain I’ll take some random mildly asshole harmless bx over the toxic shit in a school district all day

[transs3xualmagg0t]

emails need to be illegal, people should just want me

#maggot musings #:( #just let me live #does anyone have like #a site with email templates that i can use in the future #please 4 the love of God #i can write i just can't understand like formality levels and shit

they back pedalled on their back pedal. the planned ban on conversion therapy will once again include the protection of trans people

now the shit just needs to avoid loopholes for 'religious conversion therapy' to use and stop being a draft.

#maybe signing all those petitions helped?? i was gonna email my mp like suggested but i couldn't find a template to use #i should still find some templates tho. #and yes i did need a template because i dont trust people #didnt want them twisting what i said or straight up ignoring me #but hey. there is progress #okay i think this is enough of Real Stuff for me today. good news or no im stressed it was even an issue in the first place #technically i dont even think it's new news. i was just scared to check again in case they didnt fix anything #uh. #delete later

Hey fun fact did you know that yesterday (July 6th) marked exactly one year since I started my disability aid resource? I didn’t!

Also that job I applied for actually got back to me and asked for my CV so guess what I’ve just spent the last hour updating🥲 [smiling face with tear emoji]

#realised far too late that I never actually learned how to write a CV I just followed a word template #dear me #didnt ask for a cover letter thank god #but I reckon that was settled with the original tell us why you want to work here email #we shall hope #also July 16th is two years since I started this particular blog #fun times

screeeeeeching bc the woman on my team who never does any of her own work bc she's So Busy Writing A Book (not for work) is taking a 4 week holiday to go to a writer's retreat at one of the busiest times of year. and I Know my work bestie (aka my line manager) will have been killing herself from sitting on this and would LOVE to bitch about it but us lowly peons have only been informed today, and she's on holiday until next week. so like. who do I look directly into the camera like I'm on The Office to? my other team mate refuses to bitch behind people's backs bc it's against his religion. but I gotta bitch or I'll explode.

#this is. no word of a lie. the third time this year she's taken a month of unpaid leave to do Writer Things #and she doesn't half want to tell us about it #and the thing is! honestly it's great! #bc we get a lot more done when she's not around #And I Oop. #which is unnecessarily harsh but she's the one who's eventually caused our team whatsapp to be removed bc she kept #using it to give me unsolicited critique of my work that I'm like Cool Ok Maybe Message Me Instead Of A Whole Team #(also she's a fundraiser not comms and all her criticisms of my work are 'i think this tweet could be twice as long and 4x as dry') #we have all tried. SO HARD. to meet her halfway. or even 2/3 of the way. but she just takes the piss. #she asks her colleague to write her applications and me to run her research and design her documents and at a certain point is like #literally what do you do aside from google open applications and demand that other people do the work so you can collate it #which literally Is Not Any Of Our Jobs #and for this she gets paid a salary equivalent to a manager bc she's a '''''specialist''''' #she is my work nemesis but not as much as she's everyone else's #and our team manager seems to think this is bc we don't want to include her not bc she refuses to be included #i have done SO MUCH to make her life easier I've made templates ive written up data directories I grit my teeth and send out rewritten #versions of her fucking awful comms #and she just sends out emails demanding things Now bc the deadline's tomorrow #and is Mysteriously Absent every time people hold meetings #and when she is eventually corralled into coming to a meeting she just derails every conversation for 40 minutes #she doesn't meet her targets or do anything for anyone yet upper managers love her! mysteriously! #it's almost like she devotes her energy into politicking instead of DOING HER DAMN WORK or something #and she's one of those middle aged rich feminists you know? you know the ones? the incredibly fuckin condescending ones? #she went to a 3 day training in work time on Being An Inspiring Woman last year #I'm like have you considered instead a training on Giving Your Colleagues A Modicum Of Respect? #bc you know who i think are inspiring women? the many women in my organisation #who've come from homelessness or deep poverty and knuckle down and take on the work that needs done #and therefore are Actually Helping Other People instead of pontificating about how good it is When Women #red said

Re: chromecasting, what led you to choose Vivaldi over other Chromium browsers?

it involves some of the original opera team and it's got a lot of "power user" features built in (ad & tracker blocking, rss, the tab handling is really good)

i don't use most of the fancy features but i appreciate they're there (and in some cases wish i could get them in firefox)

#original #i actually experimented with using vivaldi for email at work #but they don't allow html signature and don't have a way to easily send an email from a template #both of which i need for work reasons so #although i might just turn off notifications and badges and just keep it in there anyway #for syncing reasons

[crushofdoves]

'you wouldn't like me' is not a texting fic BUT it is set in 2005 and cell phones had like, just started to get popular so i want them to send each other cute texts and emojis and i am trying to find a way to modify existing fake-text html to look more like sms texts from back in the day

#closest i've come so far is using an email template #i THINK it's gonna turn out really cool but we will see i guess

[cassiaslair]

hey y’all!

i know some of you purchased my carrd templates prior to me moving them to the carrd marketplace.

please make sure you accept the transfer within 48 hours at the most, or i’ll be canceling the transfer and you’re going to have to ask me again!!

i will be a little honest and say it does get irritating waiting on people to accept a carrd site for three months ;w; if you request me to send it again, please make sure you accept it right away!!

please also make sure you’re giving me the correct e-mail address. i know some people have multiple carrd accounts to avoid paying for premium, so please double check all accounts for the transfer.

#sdkjbcvdsf it's a little frustrating ngl!!! #i had someone buy a template and i sent it and they never accepted it #said they never got it even tho it was still transferring to the email they gave me #so i canceled it and sent it to the new email address #and it's been over 3 days now and still hasn't been accepted and i just kjdfbvfd #plops my face on the ground #as much as i would like to hold things for ppl i can't bc i only have so many open carrd slots #and i use the space for my own personal carrds for my rp blogs as well as hosting templates #or commissions i'm working on :( #so pls try to accept these in a timely manner #rinaposting.

i got an email shoutout from the PE teacher for sending a very detailed message about how and when to order field day shirts, so my praise kink has been satisfied for the next 8 hours

#tia text #i should take more college classes. i love when professors praise me #[roxie hart voice] that’s cuz none of us got enough love in our childhoods… and that’s showbiz #only the next 8 hours bc by then i’ll get sick of rereading the email #she even attached a copy of my message as a template for other teachers ^_^

[evilrry]

not my boss asking me how something is coming along when they never sent it to me in the first place

#and like it’s not something i could’ve known what to do for it’s a request from a client that has specific parts #like they usually send us templates to use there’s nothing in my email lmao #also we had a whole meeting yesterday and it wasn’t even mentioned

Call to action! The Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe is lasking everyone to please contact House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi and Senate President Dominick J Ruggiero to ask for their support for House Bill H7477. We’re asking that you send a letter to [email protected], [email protected] - YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE LOCAL FOR THIS PART!

If you live in RI, include the rep of the district that you live in (check here https://www.commoncause.org/find-your-representative/ to find who your rep is and here http://webserver.rilegislature.gov/Email/RepEmailListDistrict.asp for their contact information)

Below is the letter that I’ve sent, to use as a template, though of course your own words would be best. 

My name is Monique Poirier - I’m the Secretary of the Seaconke Wampanoag tribe. I’m writing today in hopes of bringing your attention to RI House Bill H7477 (https://legiscan.com/RI/bill/H7477/2024), which regards recognition of the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe.

Historically, the Seaconke Wampanoag resided in Massachusetts and Rhode Island - Cumberland, Lincoln, Pawtucket, and East Providence. When the state lines were drawn, dividing Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the tribe was divided. Due to patterns of migration, a majority of the tribe now resides in Rhode Island. Recognizing the tribe in Rhode Island would allow all members of our tribe to be recognized in the state that they live in. I myself co-own a home, pay taxes, and vote in Pawtucket. 

We are only asking for recognition; we are not asking for money or land, and we have no interest in establishing a gaming facility - only for the state to acknowledge that we are still here.

Recognizing the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe in the state of Rhode Island would give us access to federal funding, which would benefit Rhode Island as well - it would bring money into the state.

This bill would recognize the Seaconke Wampanoag tribe as a Native American Indian Tribe for the limited purpose of establishing eligibility for federal education, job training, healthcare, and housing benefits - and the federal protection of the sale of Native Artwork by the members of our tribe. Our goal is to more effectively pursue support for tribal healthcare and education initiatives, to protect our cultural sites, and to practice our culture and arts. We sincerely hope to gain your support in our efforts.

If you’d like to run a small story on any platform concerning the efforts of the Seaconke Wampanoag tribe, please contact: 

Chief Darrel Waldron - 401-781-1098, [email protected]

First Councilman John Falcon Harris - 401-699-1913, [email protected]

Many thanks for your consideration,

Monique Poirier
