Is it appropriate to use smiley faces in email/IM at work?
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

About 50/50. It's ok to use them regularly, but not all the time :) :)

Our office is very small. So even the boss uses smiley's. But if it's a serious matter, then they don't get used.
I can't even think of 1 e-mail my co-worker and I have sent that we didn't use one. But I never use them to a client unless it's one I know personally or we have a close relationship.

I tend to do it when I have to be a jerk about something and don't want to. I don't like it if people think I'm always yelling at them (even though I am) so I insert the smiley occasionally. I always struggle with the "is it ok to insert a smiley here??" question. I don't want people thinking I'm dingy and dot my i's with hearts or something! I just don't like having people mad at me so I try to show that I'm still nice, even though they're being stupid.
I use it on the regular when conversing with certain coworkers or my boss though. And FB/GP/personal email is not subject to any rules as I use it ALL the time there. I probably use the smiley too much, but I don't care.
see? I just put that smiley there without even thinking about it!! ha!
