Humpday poll - Old Rules

[katestine]

Poll open source Kate-dressing goes to the next level

Edit: to clarify: the last question is about someone you don't know socially, but discuss professional matters with sufficiently often that you've said things like, "Have a good weekend," and works for your company.

I would call smileys informal, but not unprofessional.

[meep]

I use smileys with people who I'm on a very friendly footing with (and that goes for profanities as well). Neither is really professional.

[blk]

I suspect it depends a lot on the atmosphere of the workplace. Mine is generally quite casual, and occasional mild profanities are usually considered acceptable.

[katestine]

I'm afraid you're right (on all of the above).

"Blanket" is the name of Michael Jackson's son according to South Park.

ROFLMAO.

[clayfoot]

The "eponymous shoe designer," as in the designer of shoes for the eponymous shoe company, or as in the designer of an eponymous line of shoes in general?

[katestine]

Manolo Blahnik.

[clayfoot]

Intentional slight or honest mistake?

[katestine]

Complete lack of teh gay.

The first rule of heraldry is the Rule of Tincture, and it should apply to jewelry (does "jewelery" rhyme with "celery"?) as well: no clashing metals or colors!

One or two well-placed smileys are just punctuation. More than that is the electronic equivalent of using hearts for tittles. Especially if those emails are entered into evidence.

Jewelry rhymes with BOOL-ree

[katestine]

Ok, that was fascinating. You know all sorts of things!

Yeah, just one in the email, to let him know that I didn't REALLY expect him to make it stop raining, even if he generally fixes all my other problems.

I'm not a retired game show champion for nothing!

There are roughly 56,000 things I notice about a woman before I notice her shoes. (Assuming she isn't wearing combat boots with a cocktail dress, bunny slippers to work, or something similarly obviously wrong.)

If a woman is wearing jewelry of different metals - in the highly improbable event I notice at all - I will probably assume the disparity is because some of the jewelry is being worn for sentimental reasons.

The power of suggestion strikes again!

[katestine]

Ok, now I really really want to wear bunny slippers to work. ARGH!
