I’ve been studiously ignoring those threads, they bore me to death.
Meanwhile! I am fucking sick of all the damn exclamation points you’re supposed to use in a work email now! When the hell did this start and how did it get so bad! Apparently if I don’t put a damn exclamation point at the end of every other sentence people think my tone sounds cold or disapproving or something! But to me it just looks like everyone is yelling at each other! About literally everything all the time! I’m responding to a work email why do I have to pretend to be so excited that you did your goddamn job!

That would be my 23 year old toddlers!
You leave explanation points alone!
When did this start? Seems so unprofessional. I mean, I’ve used in context like fuck you! Or have a good weekend! Otherwise, it’s the usual.

Dude, my client complained that one of my people sounds bored during our extremely long, boring joint calls to test stuff. She’s just monotone, it’s her voice ffs. We collectively told them to stuff it, but the fact that they even made that complaint is maddening.
My workplace is full of this hyper-corporate forced-positivity stuff, it drives me up the wall. I’m not an antisocial doofus, I’m pretty friendly with almost everyone, but I also don’t expect people to be super enthusiastic about watching somebody click around or troubleshoot a software issue.

Think about it from the bosses point of view.
They have to pretend all fucking day like they dont want to chop you all up and eat your fucking innards.
Least you could do is look enthusiastic about Bob’s quarterly efficiency savings.

Nah! My bosses love me! They would never! Plus my innards are mostly Bud Light and bong resin!

I think it’s a combination of this and of young people who were never taught office etiquette in school so they have to treat every communication like it’s a bomb they don’t know how to defuse. The forced cheer covers for the insecurity that comes with not knowing the cadence.
But now the young people outnumber the oldtimers, so the cadence is lost anyway. The new cadence is fake exuberance.

If you need to use an exclamation mark to make your point, then you need to improve your language skills; cunt.

Why do I memorize on first sight the universal gravity constant of 6.67 x 10^-11 N.m2/kg2, but when I go in the garage to get the cats some food, I end wondering what I am doing here?
Fucking Alzeihmer.

You need to drop this equation from your mental RAM so you can go about your daily tasks like getting cat food.
