What a Delay
You just have to see it to believe it!
The mail servers here, at work are sort of really screwed up these days. Nobody anticipated them to be so bad, however.
A friend of mine, just got a mail from an airline, giving him his flight details for a journey that occurred in January this year. Upon checking the time stamp of the mail, we quickly realised that it was not the fault of the airline. The mail was despatched well in time for the journey. It arrived in his inbox, however, today.
Thats a delay of 3 months!!!!
Dont believe me? Have a look yourself.
The Mail with the sent timestamp (1/25/2006)
The Inbox with the arrival timestamp (4/26/2006 - sent by goodtimes)
I wonder how the server even managed it. Could it be that the server, just forgot? Or maybe it was understaffed!
Seriosuly, makes you wonder if we are just bonded labour to these guys... with no personal lives. (Mind you, that flight was on official business!!)
