Has anyone seen Olivia?

You have got to be kidding. the Channel 10 5pm news headlines had this Olivia email on it – must be a slow news day

olivia said :

Hi Steve, it’s Olivia here. Sorry I don’t remember you.

Your only hope is if I gave you one of my tickets. I gave out over two hundred on Saturday night so don’t feel too special. have a look in your shirt pocket, that’s where I slip them in if I allow you to get close enough.

No ticket? Sorry, have a good life anyway!

Any girl that has tickets on herself is not worth your time, run away Steve, run away….

Really hope this genuine. If it is, looks like you dodged a bullet, Steve.

I’m so glad he hasn’t lost his job. Sending an all-staff email is completely misguided but certainly brought the lols.

wtf is this crap

no! this sick tucker needs to be made a lesson to us all – poor grammar gets you nowhere, children. listen up.

I just checked online and it is there too on the Age online: http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/search-for-olivia-becomes-a-public-service-20101115-17ufd.html – which also mentions Riotact as their source. Their poll however, has had over 13,000 votes! Yikes.

A friend told me it made the front page of The Age today!

If I were the girl in the picture I’d be really annoyed about having my picture splashed all over the internet. The guy was too stupid to crop her out, and even the picture of him with his hair in his eyes and a gormless expression doesn’t create a good impression, to Olivia or anyone else.

Fair enough, Holden. It wasn’t so much about access to the picture but how it was used.
“Olivia” is not interested, doesn’t actually remember him, and feels very intimidated and uncomfortable by all the attention.

Yeah, I can understand that.

This “fame” or attention will pass pretty quickly, though. In a day or two it will be pretty much forgotten I expect.

Let us know how you get on with the lawsuit against Facebook/teh whole internets!1!!! after receiving your ‘final legal advice’.

Perhaps read the original article again. R-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y if need be. Nobody (except for you) has suggested that the lass in the picture (taken from Steve’s facebook profile) is Olivia, the subject of Steve’s misguided all-staffer (who is “tall and olive skinned”).

Ori said :

You must be quite socially connected to know both Olivia and the person in the old Facebook picture. Been following Steve around?

Sunrise just aired the same (incorrect) photo, I bet the poor bloke (whoever he is) has been getting a few phone calls this morning…

Um … how do you know? You know the girl in the picture, but that’s not Olivia (and Olivia is her real name, it’s not a pseudonym as you seem to believe).

Ninemsn are reporting that “Olivia” does not even remember Steve Tucker.

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8141220/lovelorn-civil-servant-lucks-out

we all seem to think mr tucker is after something amorous with this phantom olivia – all he said was he was having a nice chat (meeting), someone interupted and he’s like to continue. what was on the agenda fgor this meeting? perhaps they were discussing camus’s view of existentialism as it relates to the current french national football team?

ah, the riot is so quick to assume…

🙂

news.com.au are running this as their main story (currently)

Fairfax have got the wrong guy’s photo – this is not the Steve I know.

I feel quite sorry for Olivia. This is a crummy thing to happen to her. Personally, I hope her identity remains non-public.

Nobody ever suggested the girl from the Facebook image was supposed to be Olivia. Nobody ever suggested she was supposed to be a in a relationship with Mr Tucker.

Haha, “obsessive behaviour”. Really? Either the pic was sent in to JB or he may have spent a grand total of 2 minutes checking Facebook.

Don’t want people to have easy access of random pictures of yourself? Then don’t put them on the internet.

I suggest having a cup of cement while you digest that, too.

So, can anyone confirm the existence of a restraining order?

All staff emails are normally fairly drab affairs, I’m sure his colleagues welcome the distraction. At least he wasn’t trying to flog tickets in a footy club raffle.

It’s now on abc news: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/11/15/3066956.htm must be a slow news day

Glad he hasnt been given the sack.
See if he can achieve cult status by pulling off a “great moment in hookup history”

I’m with CraigT on this one. The people need the stern talking to are the ones to left the “all staff distribution” email address usable by all staff instead of just the PHBs.

I also agree with the opinion that if Olivia actually wanted to catch up with him again, she’d have done so regardless of an all-points-bulletin.

What a silly tucker he is!

He made the Nine news http://news.ninemsn.com.au/technology/8141022/lustful-bureaucrat-in-strife-over-party-girl-email

They say they’ve contacted DIAC: he hasn’t been sacked, just disciplined.

….the internet can be so cruel.

Last week it was “A raider and a dog” he lost his job and will leave the country.

So Steve, assuming you don’t have any interesting pics you would like to add, you’re still doing better than the other guy.

missmaldita said :

I feel so sorry for Steve – 1. He’s idiot; 2. He’s a hopeless romantic and 3. He will be ridiculed the world over.
It will be the start of something beautiful, maybe not with Olivia, who I’m sure is now in hiding, but with the 666 ABC talkback, then Today Tonight and maybe Oprah might give him tickets to her Sydney show.

I agree that Steve sounds like a hopeless romantic, and he’s certainly a bit naive about the way the world works. As for his negligence as a Public Servant, dismissal seems overly harsh unless there are other factors involved, although I guess DIAC is rightfully leery of someone with such poor judgement. Note to all who haven’t worked it out yet: the email system is NOT your personal dating site!

However, I reckon Steve might find himself more than a few dates soon enough. In a culture of celebrity worship everyone who becomes famous (no matter how puerile the reason) seems to be attractive to someone out there. A date with Olivia is unlikely from this position though (unless she too is a lonely hopeless romantic).

Everybody makes mistakes. Especially when communicating over the interweb is concerned.
Prolly overt declarations to strangers seeking their assistance in locating the female that your currently “gunning for” is something to be avoided regardless of how noble your intentions may be, In the eyes of a stranger your activities will naturally be deemed nefarious and your well intentioned declaration of interest could backfire horribly or might even work? But it is all or nothing Either you are seen as Bryant Gumbel or Wayne Brady http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pEQbZCRoJM

Now that he has revealed his hand to essentially everyone including complete strangers it does change the nature of any subsequent interaction they might have. There are better ways to find people , via interweb or have someone discretely assist you mutual friends knowingly or otherwise, or even professional investigators,bounty hunters etc lol http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/raising-arizona-hi-vs-apocalypse/176047

Then again this is Canberra short of her hopping a freight train to Mexico she will probably bump into this individual sooner than later. Hopefully it won’t be too akward for either parties involved.

Without knowing the situations, individuals and events involved nor being involved in the APS. It is not for me to say. I give him the benefit of the doubt.

Posting the guys picture, Name and Telephone number on the Interweb is prolly not a good idea. She could have a boyfriend who might read this post blame her for somehow causing this and/or simply track this guy down and cause trouble. I hope that he gets the girl and she wants to know him “better” Time will tell.

DIAC have confirmed that he hasn’t been sacked but “the matter is currently before the values and conduct branch”: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/11/15/3066956.htm

If Godwin Grech, SES Officer, hadda done that he woulda been promoted!

He hasn’t been sacked. He probably won’t be. ‘BundaSt’ clearly doesn’t work in the Belconnen Office where Steve is from.

To quote a co-worker: “Why yes, I have had an awesome Monday. Thanks Steve Tucker.”

I just checked out his facebook – he looks like a nice guy, I feel sorry for him.

Sending a Department wide email to 4000 people, chasing a girl you met in a moment .. it’s pretty priceless.. even if it isn’t all that smart. Kudos to Steve!

CraigT said :

The real issue here is: what kind of a crap IT department allows any Tom, Dick, or Steve to send out AllStaff email?

One that manages its risks effectively and appropriately instead of instituting an insanely locked-down policy just so nothing can ever go slightly wrong even if it also makes using the system a massive pain in the arse?

CraigT said :

If I were in charge, I’d be less worried about Steve and more worried about the monkeys running my email system.

unless Steve was an authorised user.

As if they’d sack someone for sending a very inoffensive (and really kind of cute) email.

He made a silly mistake, poor fellow.
Now he is named, shamed & an image of him posted with a white lady with a gun. How will he explain all this to Olivia?
Technology is so cruel and he will never live it down.

That poor girl.

They’ll both recover from this… although I doubt it will be together.

DIAC spokeperson on the radio says he has not been sacked.

why did he get fired????…..

!!!!!!HE HAD A DISCLAIMER!!!!

Poor guy gave his job away for a chance to continue a moment he shared with a women and he didn’t even know her last name….Fail

FYI rumor has it that he was escorted out of DIAC today…maybe a suspension??

I can see the APS contingent of Canberra being entertained by this. Geek humor.

Perhaps he watched “The Sweetest Thing” it was on last night…ooops somone has blured the line between reality and fiction!

Immigration’s Sandy Logan says bloke who emailed the entire dept looking for a girl is being investigated but “it’s not a sackable offence” (From Stephen Spencer)

Scary stalking behaviour. Sounds as though he has behaved badly previously and may have deserved to be sacked.

Makes this (from the Daily Telegraph) look like a war crime:

The following is a real email sent on Tuesday by Federal Treasury worker Chris Timotheou, which is now doing the rounds in Canberra.

It makes me want to know more.

From: Timotheou, Chris
Sent: Tuesday, 17 March 2009 2:44 PM
To: Macroeconomic Group; Revenue Group; Fiscal Group; Markets Group; Corporate Services Group; Executive Incl SCD; ARPC; Australian Office of Financial Management
Subject: Move your cars – Pulsar YLG988 and Festiva YBD715 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Owners of Pulsar YLG988 and Festiva YBD715. You have parked in the car park in spaces that mean I cannot get reverse out. I needed to attend to a personal matter at home by 2.45. As a result of your lack of consideration for anyone but yourself I now cannot do that.

Move your cars now.

PS – if this had happened last Thursday afternoon (when my house was on fire) I would have trashed your cars to get out of the car park.

UPDATE: ANYONE WHO CAN TELL US WHAT CHRIS TIMOTHEOU’S PERSONAL MATTER WAS AND WHY HIS HOUSE WAS ON FIRE WILL GET A T-SHIRT*

*Or at least a thank you note.

Probably in line for the flick not due to email protocols per se, but they didn’t want someone so obviously indiscreet/distracted/testosterone-driven in their Dept.

Geez – now that you’ve posted his pic I recognise him. Poor bastard. He’s a nice guy!

Getting escorted from the building is generally an indication that you have lost your job.

I feel bad for the poor guy. It was a stupid and naive thing to do, but there was nothing malicious in it which is more than can be said about some of the people responding. I hope DIAC lets him off with a warning and not a dismissal.

If he really has been sacked then I’d suspect that either DIAC has an incredibly strict IT policy (which would probably be justified given the sensitive topics the department covers) or – and this is purely speculation – it isn’t his first offence.

Well, you are probably correct that he hasn’t lost his job. He did bring it on himself you are correct about that also, but the poor bloke is copping it pretty bad right now from everywhere.

He should have posted on RiotACT, seems to have a similar reach to an “all staff” email within all agencies of the APS…

I doubt he’s lost his job over it, but a serious counseling session would be underway.

No, I think the worst thing he should be considering about now is “which processing centre will they be outposting me to?”

Also, urgh, creepy, much? Ok asking your mates if you’ve heard of this chick, but spamming an entire organisation to hunt someone down for a date? I’d be running for the hills if I were Olivia.

He will probably end up on Oprah, telling his story of love and making a fortune along the way. Good luck to him.

Maybe they have been looking for a reason to kick him out and he handed it to them. It doesn’t seem like reasoning and logic are his strong points.

bahbah said :

Reading comprehension, people – Olivia’s housemate works for DIAC, not Olivia herself. Presumably he doesn’t know the housemate’s name, hence the somewhat overdistributed email.

Seems a bit rough to sack the guy on a first offence, but I suppose this could be a “straw that broke the camel’s back”-type scenario.

I hope Olivia likes unemployed men…

we’ve just had the obligatory all staff email saying don’t send all staff emails. they were slow to react this time

Just a thought, Steve could have just looked up all the Olivia’s in the DIAC internal directory and sent the email to them only instead of everyone at DIAC.

sacked? i’d just hoped mr tucker is receiving remedial grammar courses…

he should have also considered contingencies and put an alternative contact – i mean, how is the lovely ‘livia going to get in touch with myself now?

RE: Steve being sacked:
There’s most likely a great big section of his IT Code of Conduct that came up every time he logged onto the network that either explicitly mentioned (but glossed over) or simply cross-referenced something to the effect of the below:

…Contraventions of ICT Code of Conduct may result in sanctions and penalties under Cybercrime Act 2001, section 41 (Misapplication or improper use of public
property) of Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997, Crimes Act 1914 and/or Criminal Code Commonwealth.
Further, if a determination is made that a breach of the APS Code of Conduct has occurred, a sanction may be imposed pursuant to subsection 15(1) of the Public Service Act 1999. Those sanctions include:
· Reprimand;
· Deduction from salary by way of fine;
· Reduction in salary;
· Re-assignment of duties;
· Reduction in classification; and/or
· Termination of employment.

Feel free to fight for him, but I don’t like Steve’s chances.

Get drunk on the weekend and meet a girl…
Email everyone in your department on Monday morning…
Dole queue Monday afternoon…

sometimes it is a good idea to listen to the voices one hears inside one’s head. Particularly when that voice asks ‘should I really send this all staff email?’ or ‘should I really encourage that dog to felate me?’

Sooo, in order to sack this chick he got the sack. Shame, it takes a big sack to do what he did.

And if she’s not interested, it’ll really sack.

You see that flash of light in the corner of your eye? That’s your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear.

I would love to know how many email responses he is getting today. Lol.

Poor Olivia, eventually ending up married to her stalker due to social pressures…

Also:
‘…let Olivia know that I would like to…alternatively get in touch with myself…’
He wants to do what to himself?

Unfortunately, people got in the way after we met and I didn’t get to finish our meeting how I wanted to.

These people possibly being Bouncers?

his best option: “alternatively get in touch with myself”

I wonder how many levels of sh*t Mr Tucker is going to find himself in for breaching Departmental email policies…

Steve can look forward to a nice long counselling session on how not to use a Government email account. Good luck to him (though I’d be kinda freaked if I was Olivia).

Don’t think Steve needed to go this far…if I girl likes you and wants to find you she WILL (the social networks of women are more powerful at targeting what they want than a zombie virus botnet).

certainly did get a few chuckles on the floors this morning when it hit our in-boxes.

Canberra is small so he should be able to find her, unless she lied about where she worked. I would love to hear how this turned out.

I just read this email, the sender must take me for a sucker
Some guy is chasing the delightfully olive Olivia
He sent out a Department wide email disguised as trivia
C’mon, just come out and admit it Steve Tucker
All you really want to do to Olivia is…

Could you at least remove his personal particulars such as his email and phone number?

It’s not got quite the same awwww factor as NYgirlofmydreams, but good luck to Steve and his goals for a bit of boogie. I wonder if Olivia has posted a notice at her workplace, too.

….and half the public service by now, if my Department is anything to go by. It’s the topic du jour.

Wow. Hope this pays off…
