Yeah, my friend got some area graphic designers to comment on it:
My favorite response is the non-anonymous one. so funny. (that designer is in a band called Double Dagger. one of the most awesome band names ever. If you're a certain kind of nerd.)

Dear Coworker,
Incomplete sentences peppered with acronyms and your own personal business slang may make sense to your accountant, but considering that she's out all week, I'll need you to explain -- using actual words, not just holding down Ctrl and punching a bunch of random keys -- what it is you want me to do.
Irritably yrs,
shrift

I love the word nontroversy. I'm also suspicious that the Sun is asking its bloggers to be more 'controversial' in order to drive reader participation. Which is pandering. and Offensive, in my mind.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just got off a conference call with clients in Houston and London. Two of the people on the call were in London, but one was an American and the other had a Russian accent. My boss and I were disappointed we didn't get to hear any British accents....

The big fat 4-colored ballpoint pen with the 4 separate clicky-things on the end? I loved those.
I used to open mine up and shift all the colors one slot over so that people who borrowed my pen would get red when they wanted blue and think they were crazy.
....what?

I loved the ones with the 12 (or whatever) colors even more....

Heh.
I had those! I loved them, but I the green was always my least favorite.
Tom always wins at life. I was going to say pay some bills and then get my hair colored. Which doesn't seem as nice now.

I don't think I'm familiar with these, but now I totally want one.
You haven't seen them? They were all the rage when I was in second or third grade. I think I recall seeing them more recently with Disney characters, but the internet isn't helping me confirm that. They were like this one: [link] , hard-sided, with the top and bottom padded. Though that picture doesn't show all the little compartments and stuff.
