As much as I dislike emoticons in work emails

I like them more than this:

I submit an email from my boss

"Thank you Winger for always taking care of  business- smile ? we couldn?t get things accomplished without you and CoIrker."

 

"smile"? really?

  • That makes me embarrassed for her.

  • You should give her a "Smize!" in your reply.

  • I had a court clerk email me a couple of weeks ago.  As part of her e-signature, she had an animated emoticon that had big red lips and appeared to be doing the tango.  Nothing says "take me seriously, for I control your contact with the judge" more than a dancing smiley face.

    My judge would have ripped my head off if she caught me with that (or any) emoticon in my emails.

    In my experience, the people who have the backgrounds and inspirational quote and animated emoticons in their work emails are the dumbest people there are.  I've always wondered how on earth they managed to figure out how to put all that crap in their emails but couldn't alphabetize to save their lives.

  • I can not count the amount of professional contacts I have whose e-mail signatures are covered in "Dance like no one is watching!" "Reach for the moon, you'll land among the stars!" quotes on flowery backgrounds with nature gifs all around.
  • I hate emoticons but I wish there were a better way to convey tone sometimes.

    Writing the word "smile" in there, however, is not the answer.

    If you ever get the honor of seeing me dance, you will know I embody this credo.

  • I only know one person with a picture in their signature, and it's a giant red smiley face.

    He's a tiny old Indian man, can't be more than 4'9", and is the most agreeable person in the world.  So I completely support the smile at the end of all of his e-mails.  He also types in all caps.

    I FIX THE P&ID AND SEND TO YOU ON MONDAY OK :)

  • One of the parents from my class is pregnant and her email siggy has one of those Bump badges with x number of days to go and a ticker with the other kids ages. I wasn't aware people used them outside of message boards.

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
