Strange Thoughts of a Strange Man

We're having a revamp of our email and other communication style throughout the company. I was worried for a moment that we were to use the dreaded words "kind regards" to end emails.

I really hate using those words as I feel them to be rather condescending. They put me in mind of Glinda the Good in the Wizard of Oz when she is gazing benevolently on the Munchkins.

I have been using an alert feature in Outlook so that when I get an email from certain people a window pops up to let me know.

I've come to realise that this wasn't such a great idea. In fact, no matter how much I want to hear from people, I hate the little box popping up when I am in the middle of typing. It is a pain in the arse.

So, I've turned it off. I don't need to know about emails that much.
