Meh, I like cute names like the next nerd, but I've never seen any in practice. It's all TV model number like codes.

The most annoying usage I've seen was a smaller company that used stars wars names for email distribution lists.

"Why did you forward this networking ticket to Chewbacca group? It's supposed to go to BobaFett."

Gee, I dunno, maybe because you use cutesy, non-descriptive names for email groups instead of just networkingsupport@company.com.

I just want a nice, useful address book I can actually search. But those morons don't even have that, so instead we have abominable emails like did.ssi-sii and such. Sure it all means something, if you can just remember what fucking letter soup the department you're looking for is. You want the service desk? did.dsi-sdk Rolls off the fucking tongue, doesn't it.

What's the point of this piece of shit Outlook if we can't even search for team addresses?

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
