Good question. Let me give you a little bit of background. About a year ago I thought that office life was awfully boring and could use a little injection of harmless humour. So, I decided to send my colleagues at work a little bit of fun every Friday and call it Friday Fun (original title or what!). Anyway, a few weeks on and a lot of people liked it. I guess that this is not dissimilar to a lot of e-mails that are sent round, but this is about my little distribution list, so there. Some of my colleagues did not appreciate the e-mails that I sent round, which again is fair enough. They were taken off the list and some more people added. This has happened a few times and I now have quite a few people on my Friday Fun list (also known as the GOMP).

So its just another Joke distribution list? Well, yes, I suppose so.

So how does it work? Well, every Friday, I send out an e-mail with something that I think is funny on it.

What about Quality assurance? My first GOMP CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) questionnaire was sent out during March �98 and the replies were collated and reviewed. A lot of constructive feedback was taken on board and overall, Friday Fun�s recipients were fairly content that what they got was what they wanted.

Have you ever got into trouble over it? Yes. I am not making that mistake again. I sent out a Friday fun with a joke article about Microsoft God (some of you may have seen it). This provoked a few people in a negative way. Obviously, this is not my intention and I now steer well clear of issues that are commonly considered to be sensitive.

How can I get onto the GOMP? Gis a mail with something funny on it.
