File Names -WTF!

File name of the day:
"FLO TRAC BROCHURE AR01128 FNL 121905.qxd" :roll:

What a about the Keep It Simple Stupid method here?? Noooo, instead I have to copy these files to my desktop to truncate file names because they won't go up to the frigin server!! :x

Give me a break. Thanks, I feel better now.

I know what you mean all too well.
I get files like this one below every day.

4391 - BC - Bill, Adam & Damien Robson - to curves imposed.cdr

But then I get the other extreme.

Film.pdf

Just run this file to film thanks.

Hint for job seekers:

When a job posting requests you to email your resume, try to be a bit more specific when naming your attached file.

About 85% of the resumes I've gotten in the past week are titled

"resume.pdf"

When those are all downloaded into a folder, guess which ones don't stand out?

I'm with you on that! Any I recieve that aren't named correctly go into the bin. Do people really think I'm going to name the documents properly?
