Hello? Just what does it take to get the employee at the McHenry County Sheriff's Dept.who handles NIXLE advisories to wake up and pay attention? READ what you are about to send out, before you press Send. (At least, you didn't send a text message at 4:05AM, and I thank you for that.)
Today's gaffe?
At 4:05AM Thursday (that's today, February 3, 2011) MCSD emailed the following message via NIXLE:
"Advisory Message has been issued by the McHenry County, IL Sheriff's Office.
"Tuesday February 1, 2011 3:00 PM CST
"All County of McHenry buildings open to the public will be closed on Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Travel Safely.
"With heavy snow, high winds and blizzard conditions anticipated for the next 24 hours, McHenry County facilities will be closed Wednesday, February 2, 2011 for normal business. Please check the County website at http://www.blogger.com/ in the future for additonal information."
Thus, the dangers of copy-and-paste become abundantly clear once again. Is this "just" a clerical error? Assuming that it takes some level of authority at MCSD to approve a NIXLE message before it is sent, just where does the buck stop on this one?
What about the Jail? Was the jail open for business; i.e., could an inmate be bonded out? Was bond court held? Is that "normal" business?
This County is full of people who would be happy to work for $30,000/year and who wouldn't make these kinds of mistakes? Why does the Sheriff's Department pay $100,000/year to someone to oversee these mistakes?
You never know who is interested…

You do know everyone I speak to thinks you are being idiotic about this Nixle issue.
If it bothers you unsubscribe.
You are quite officious.
