vw, there's no such thing as too many showers if the alternative is homicide.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

re: emails
I got in trouble for saying "I hope our phone technicians will be able to fix" etc., because management interpreted that as a statement of uncertainty and no confidence, whereas I meant it as "I hope we can meet again" type of polite language. It's amazing how people can look for opportunities to misinterpret.

I'm sorry about spelling your name wrong in the F2F recap. By the time I realized it, I couldn't edit. It is by no means a reflection on my love for you.
Its spelling, like its pronunciation, is flexible. Cause I'm easy like that.

Robin, WTF? People is stoopid.
I got in trouble during National Poetry Month for sending out "too many informative emails" about the events and deadlines. So. Um. Ok.
Us too... I'd just like to have ONE month where I'm not paying crazy gas prices for heat or crazy electric prices for AC. Just one.
Sing it, sister.

What did you think you were there for? To teach people about words and the infinite number of ways they can be strung together to express the human condition in all its exultant and tragic forms?

Okay, bosses that call people on the carpet for "email etiquette" violations or complaints need to provide all employees with detailed and extensive rules and guidlines for email communication.
Otherwise? Not allowed to put email senders in hot water.

I've rarely thought there was enough humor in HR e-mails. Humor is what makes dry or depressing information a little easier to take.

I didn't get yelled at by my bosses, because I give really good email, but I had to gather the orders for our region and send them to National's admin. So, I put "Southern Region Supply Orders." in the subject line, attached the orders and put EOM in the body.
Woman replied back "WHAT!?!?! What is this? Where's the message!?!" CCed to freaking everybody. Boss just walked in, rolled her eyes and walked out.
