Guest Gary C Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I e-mail between 50-75 different people on a daily basis. Asking them to do this, confirm that or acknowledging stuff. There's one particular woman I deal with, who commands me to carry out enquiries, that uses exclamation marks on the end of ordinary sentences. Quote The Studios Costa Mar are for S10 not W10! Quote Yes it is the same content! Is she shouting at me? I want to e-mail her back and tell her I don't appreciate her use of exclamation marks, but at that point I might as well stick a pencil up my arse and run out of the office crying. Anyone? Nah.

Try sticking random emphatic markers in your emails to her. For example: Yes, it is totally the same content.

Guest heliumbaboon Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 My favorite is the smile that keeps on going.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 It really bothers me when people email too bluntly, I think your basic 'Hi' or 'Dear ____' is needed for politeness. I MEAN ITS NOT A FUCKING TEXT MESSAGE for fucks sake! Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/59316-office-semantics/#findComment-1406923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I was thinking of just e-mailing her back, 'were you shouting in that last e-mail? I don't appreciate stressful e-mails'. But I think it might be best to retort with an odd italicised word. She'll reply, asking me to confirm what I meant and then I'll tell her that it's annoying when people use odd textual inferences. I sometimes drop a smiley in my e-mails, but only when we've been back-and-forthing for a while and we've resorted to one sentence messages. I think it helps to keep a personal and jovial sense to what has probably degraded into affirmations. In other news; I'm going to start looking/applying for new jobs again. I said I'd give myself 'til Christmas, get 6 months here, but I think I can justify beginning to look in September.

Reply with double exclamation marks!! Or an odd ¡. Why not end every sentence with an exclamation mark yourself! If she asks why, say you thought you'd give it a go, too!
