My boss' signature is: Sincerely, Boss' Name How common place is that? I only ask because I can't fucking stand it. Tonight, I'm taking the wife out to a local bar where the have Skee Ball!
You can't stand your boss' name, or "sincerely?" All the professional correspondence I send, I sign Sincerely, Rush-O-Matic, P.E. President I started that years ago when I was with another firm before I started my own business. There were five partners / principals, and I was the only other professional there. They all had their own way, one was "Regards" one was "Yours Very Truly" (which I hated and thought was dumb for business), one was "Kindly Yours" and so forth. I went with "Sincerely" because it was short, and always appropriate since I was genuinely sincere in whatever I was saying, and seemed easier than having to write "Till then my beloved (no homo)" each time. I've just stuck with that. Edit to add: It's pretty common. I have to review documents in regulatory files from other professionals every now and then, and I see "Sincerely" most often. Double Edit: I'm talking about letters, like regular mail. Email, I sign off with my name, company, address, phone, etc.
I had to set up my school email account with that exact signature, because they specifically demanded it. Something about professionalism. Oh yeah, taking a writing class and one chick's profile read like this: Spoiler Interests: I love to read my friends and family like to tease about it sometimes because I always am reading when everything else I do have boarded me to death. Music would be second on my list I am a die hard medal fan, I do like other kinds but medal is my first choice. Movies is my third mostly the fantasy, disasters, comedy, and mysteries. For the one who think I just like to stay inside all the time I also like swimming, camping and boating. Skills: I am a crafty person by nature, I'm mostly self taught when it comes towards art. I make and some times sell: Jewelry, photo album covers, wind chimes, dolls, and many other crafty thing I can get my hands on. Biography Hi, my name is (redacted). I am 33 years old, I work for a assistant living home for the elderly as a cook, I volunteer for my community as a fire fighter this is why I've got the nick name FIRELADY. I am the second women fire fighter thats been on this department; the first was my mom ( Linda Singleton ). I am the first woman it the county to receive Fire Fighter of the Year award I'm very proud of this. For a few months now I along with some help from great friends of mine I have been working on a writing book, it is just about finished. Hoping someday to get it published and bound I would love to be able to go into a book store and see it on the shelf one day. I have two dogs (Butchy and Mokie) and three cats ( Cleo, Smokie, and Midnight ). /spoiler] Um, her picture is what really makes this funny and yet I am suddenly overcome with a "mean" sensation. I was just hoping for some classmates who make me feel like I need to step it up a bit..
I use "Best Regards" all the time from my professional communication. Its better than "Best" and I'm not "Sincere" about "Here are the 50000 lines of fucking numbers you wanted delivered to you" so "Best Regards" works. I ranted about this before but my offices typical "Thank You" or "Thanks" is fucking annoying because it makes no sense. People use it in my office (and in their emails) as "Goodbye." Rant: We're doing our jobs here, not helping each other move, this shit gets annoying.
After the day I've had (all 3 fucking hours of it, so far), I'm tempted to change my signature to: Get fisted, Angel_1756
Did you really think it was necessary to put a link up to the wiki page for Skee Ball? Show of hands... Who has never played at least one game of skee ball?
Is it bad that I nearly spit up my tea and laughed when I read this? It's finally starting to feel like fall down here. In the middle of my work week, hoping Sunday comes with a quickness so I can enjoy said fall weather.
My knee hurts. I want it to be healed. Also my car broke again. Same problem, $500 part didn't fix it. WHAT THE FUCK!? Drinking will start early today. . .
When I was corresponding with schools setting up interview dates, one program's secretary had a Bible verse after her e-signature. It was a complete turn-off to me. I don't care if she's Christian, Hindu, whatever. I thought it was really unprofessional. No cutesy bullshit or deep thoughts, please.
At least not something as polarizing as that. Was it a Christian school by chance? I'd be surprised a school would let her get away with that unless it's a religious school to begin with. My sister was fired from her job in a dining hall at the U a few years back for wishing someone a Merry Christmas.
I almost never use a closing line. I hate "Sincerely". It seems to imply that, without that statement, I'm not actually being sincere. If I've asked for, or received, information, a quote, etc., I'll write: Thank You, Misanthropic Otherwise I simply tag it: Misanthropic
Nope. State school...Texas Tech. She really wasn't doing them any favors as a lot people outside of west Texas think people out there are extremely conservative, narrow-minded and judgmental to begin with. I decided that school probably wasn't a good fit for me.
Yesterday I had to be around the LSU nursing school. It was a perfect South Louisiana October day and the nursing students were all out in force sitting on the grass pretending to study. Why didn't I know nursing schools existed when I was single? There were more spectacularly attractive women lounging around that building than there are at a strip club. And these girls have brains and better earning potential. Single guys, find your nearest nursing school and try to be a decent human. You will not be disappointed.
