Email title: “Urgent, need fix ASAP”
Call the user within the hour, no answer, send an email, get an out of office message informing you that they are on vacation for several weeks.
If this seems exaggerated to you then you haven't worked in IT long enough

AI generated, look at that keyboard

Parts of it were, but parts were hand drawn, all of the text was put in manually with the comic neue font, and the whole thing was assembled piece by piece in gimp.

What part is hand drawn? Seems a little scummy to use AI and then put your watermark in the corner of the art you stole…

Why does AI use this beige background color?

From today, dialing 999 won’t get you the emergency services. And that’s not the only thing that’s changing. Nicer ambulances, faster response times and better-looking drivers mean they’re not just the emergency services — they’re your emergency services. So, remember the new number: 0118 999 881 999 119 725… 3.

I know the number is exaggerated for comedic effect, but it blows my silly little 'murican mind that phone numbers in the UK have variable length. All of our numbers are the same length. Country code (1), area code (757) prefix (368) and then the line number (0441). I’m sure something else might exist for super niche things or something, and we’ve got the 3 digit important numbers, like 911 (emergency/cops) or 988 (suicide prevention hotline), but personal numbers are always 7 digits plus the area code. It’s just weird to my brain that the length can be variable within a country.
Also, try giving that example number a call…

No that’s too formal

This sounds like something out of Rusty Lake to me, but needs more owls.

There was a guy at one of our clients who would submit requests and then never answer his phone or respond to emails. If someone actually reached him, everyone would talk about it because it was such a rare outcome.
