In Which Abuse is Never Pretty

Apr 20, 2009 18:54

At work, they're running a GET INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY THING! You know, the typical "make all of our employees donate their time so that our big company looks less like corporate douches" kinda thing. They're trying to get ALL of their employees involved, but delightfully, I'm not counting myself in that number! Because fuck you guys, I'M STILL A TEMP!

But anyway, I was reading through some of the possible charities employees can get involved with and after a look through the email, it occurred to me one I'd really like to support.

Stop Abuse of the English Language Campaign.

And we can start this campaign off by simply not using so god damn many exclamation points.

Now, I like exclamation points! I've been known to abuse exclamation points!! They're a lot of fun!!! A bit like chips, where you just can't stop at one!!!! But the problem is that the more of them you use, the more of an idiot you look like!!!!! See what I mean!!!!!!

Seriously guys. If you're at work, one exclamation point is plenty. No, really. Stop with one. Like cigarettes or donuts. You only get one, so use it wisely. Like when you actually want to make a point, not when you feel like making a complete moron of yourself.

In other news, FUCK YOU POLLEN. FUCK YOU AND THE VEGETATION THAT SPAWNED YOU. IF I DIDN'T NEED YOU TO PURIFY MY ATMOSPHERE, I WOULD BE KICKING YOUR ASS WITH A FLAMETHROWER. >8E

(Note the lack of exclamation point in the above. However, caps abuse is also not appropriate in work emails, it's fun in another kind of English language abuse which is also not office appropriate. But hey, this is my blog, so the English language is my bitch.)

stop the language abuse, work, allergies
