Thinking before you send (again)

It's a shame Katrina Jorgensen lives in New Zealand. I'd like to hire her as my accounts payable manager. Unfortunately her all too direct email got her sacked by her own husband.

Again we see why it's important to think before you send. The line
"Why don't you stay within your class level and buy something from payless plastics instead." is priceless but it really isn't something you'd like to see sent around the world. Again, don't send something you would like to see next to your photo on the six o'clock news, or the NZ Herald in this case.

A greater sin of the Great Marquee company is the use of sound on their website. Now that's a hanging offence. Incidentally, $NZ30,000 is a bloody cheap wedding so maybe Katrina does have a point.

Another offence is the shameless pinching of the story by the Sydney Daily Telegraph, right down to the photos. It's surprising the Tele couldn't find a story today given the circus that our state politicians are performing in.

The morals of this story are, spend more on weddings if you don't want to be insulted, don't read the Tele, don't imbed boring music in your website and never send an email you've written in anger.
