Sigh. How sad is it…
…to spend like half an hour just deciding which salutation to use in an e-mail to a person I don’t know.
Yeah. This is why I don’t win friends and influence people … I’m in the corner figuring out how to say hi.

To Be Bought/Read
haha i find myself in this position at least once a day (at work, i tend to be everyone’s bitch. letter writing wise that is)
usually i just end up going with the informal and stff Hello. Seems to work for me. lol.
Course usually the letter I’m writing isn’t technically from me, so i can sound like a total asshole and not technically be an asshole. yeah i don’t mind that.
Now you know how I feel when I emailed you about the interview.
But it’s okay. We can sit in the corner together. :slashyhug:
GA – I went with “Hi” and then her name because “Dear” seemed too formal and “Yo!” was a bit presumptuous.
May – Woot! A friend! :slashyhug:
I always go for “Hi!” myself.
Also, Meljean, did you get a copy of the PW we were on the front cover of? If you didn’t, I may have an extra one.
Oy vey ! That’s always a weird moment – then there is the signing off. How about subject headers?
My one friend sticks with ‘hey’ as her subject line which is hilarious because I normally try to reference what an e-mail is about. That way someone doesn’t see one of my ‘hey’ posts and think ‘read that’.
Lord I’m talkative.

The signing off thing is what bugs me. Someone once told me I was rude because I ended my emails like:
-racy
rather than something like Sincerely, Racy or something like that.
I still end my emails -racy unless it’s businessy
Do they manufacture a drug that helps with online social ineptness? They have that drug that helps the little blob play with the other blobs. Maybe they can do the same with online problems?
Okay, can’t stop laughing at what Bobby said. Yeah, those poor blobs. Course, I’m one of them but whatever
