Business Pet Peeve

[bjarvis]

Lest there be any confusion on this point, let me be clear: the next time anyone sends me business correspondence which uses "sup" as a greeting, "u" as a pronoun and ends questions about location with "at," I will publish that text for public ridicule.

I have some tolerance for abbreviations in text messages between mobile devices, but none whatsoever for full-length emails, online documentation or written correspondence. We're supposed to be educated professionals in real-world business, not pre-teens playing "The Sims" online with your bffs.

Thank you.

I will now finish my day by practicing yelling at kids to get off my lawn and complaining about how young whippersnappers drive too fast.

While you're at it, drive 15 MPH below the speed limit in the left lane with your turn signal on... *g*

It's the latest features in the new models from Detroit: the cars automatically detect one's old age and automatically fix the cruise control below the speed limit, lock the turn signal on and keep the headlights on high beam. The upscale models equipped with GPS will remind one to ask for the senior's discount when they're in fast-food drive-thrus.
