    Pro tip - when replying to an email, schedule it to be sent at 8pm so they know you’ve got that sigma grindset

      Outlook will display the time “sent” as the time you hit send. Then they receive it at the scheduled time, and will be marked as the “received” time. Two different time stamps.

        Well that’s disappointing. What even is the point in scheduling a message then?

        Surely there’s some way to spoof it, but I guess I’ve never really tried

          What even is the point

          Scheduling correspondence generally falls into one of a couple categories:

          1. This message contains information you don’t want them to have until after an event. Raises, Layoffs, Reorgs
          2. It’s 2am and you don’t want to bother them at this hour. (more important for Slack)
          3. They’re not in our timezone and you want it to hit the box when they’re fresh to work on it. You don’t want them to start a sprawling project at 4:30 on a Friday.
          4. It’s the weekend and there’s no reason for them to worry about it until Monday.

            It’s the weekend and there’s no reason for them to worry about it until Monday.

            Imagine checking work email on the weekend. I feel sorry for people with jobs like that.

              I have a guy, he’s amazing but he just does that. I have to be very careful to not to send him anything outside of normal work hours because he will spin up and do it and that’s not what I want.

          True, but how could I do that on my work computer without admin access? I was barely allowed to install AutoHotKey.

          Also not allowed to keep the computer running 24/7.

            Can you run powershell 5.1? If you can do that add type definitons, PowerShell can control your mouse and click for you.

            If you have your mail in the browser, you can manually create javascript code to run at some point.
