I go turbo on emails. Oh, you want to send me a vague one line question and cc three people? Well, prepare for the full CYA Experience, complete with charts, graphs, and paragraph after paragraph of pre-written documentation explaining why my A is C’d.
I hope this email finds you even half as well prepared for this conversation as I am, your move.
Sincerely, FAFO
I have been accused of being “thorough” in my emails. That’s a kinder way to say “verbose”. Which is a kinder way to say “wordy”. And a less erudite way to say “loquacious”.
I like loquacious. It is a perfectly cromulent word. But no one has accused me of being “loquacious”. Je m’accuse.
That would be my whole fucking day
That was the bane of my existence back in my customer service days.
