I like argyle.



Congrats on a doing good job. =)

Shoes. Shiny

Thoth, are you gonna end up like Ed Norton's character in Fight Club? Are you gonna blackmail the boss in your argyle socks lmao...



:P

Yeah they do look like new shoes Thoth, did you buy them just for this shot?



Is your desk a mess just so that you look busy and what's with the turn ups?

Aw, you noticed!

*blush*



Yep, all that crap on my desk is just for looks. I'm not busy at all -- I nearly fell asleep at my desk twice yesterday -- but my office looks like it's cluttered with lots of important stuff that I'm working on. It's awesome. And it's all fake.



I feel like I'm on the set of a Hollywood movie.



And yes, my shoes are kinda shiny. I'll be honest. I don't really know what's in style these days with regards to shoes and neckties. I might be trapped in 2003-ish fashion. Are shiny shoes out of style?



Could be... I'm afraid to ask. If I am hopelessly out of fashion, why won't people tell me?

*shrug*

heh. Brilliantly put Mr Thoth. Netiquette maketh the man.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness

Ease my troubles, that's what you do



Have I told you lately?

oh, this is beyond netiquette. This is just basic interpersonal communication. The guy works down the hall from us, but rather than have a discussion he blasted a mass email from his effin' BlackBerry.



That's just shitty management.

*giggles*

This came at a perfect time for me. Amen.

That is just sad.



I have worked management, I have seen other managers do this themselves and it annoyed me to no end.





People need a class on this if they become a manager. Seriously, it should be mandatory.

THERE IS A FUNNY SIDE WITH B THOUGH ISN'T THERE THOTH?



...Ooo that just looks odd in Caps lol

Ah, yes... well, a couple of footnotes...



1. A BlackBerry is a phone. Therefore common, proper typing is not necessary. All caps and shorthand should be acceptable, even in business level communication.



2. Managers have too much to do and too many people to manage to worry about such things as tact and personal etiquitte. An email blast to everyone regarding one person's issue is more efficient. Now no one will use the wrong code, ever.



3. Most managers have learned that pulling someone aside to correct their actions doesn't have any positive affect on 85% of their workforce. Why waste time? Just send an email, or in the old days, a memo.



Now is this getting less murky?

*squints eyes*



oh, Birra, that is not the right answer, though I'm absolutely positive that you're a better manager than the ass clown down the hall from me.

Wow lol...
