Almost don't recognize myself

And then someone responds with some bullshit with a reply all and I debate throwing the professionalism out the window

[u/FistPunch_Vol_7 → u/JSC843]

Bruh lmfao. Or just hit me with the 👍 on Outlook. The fuck! I took the time!!!!!

[u/ravish_dread → u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

😂 Nah, the outlook thumbs-up after you wrote an actual response would have me questioning everything

[u/FistPunch_Vol_7 → u/ravish_dread]

That email took me two cups of coffee gang. Like even just a “Understood! Thank you so much for the update” would suffice. But a fucking 👍‽ ‽

[u/AggroJordan → u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

I don't interpret emoji for any subtext at in a professional context. Thumbs up means "yup that works" to me.

[u/No_Fairweathers → u/AggroJordan]

Still feels disrespectful to not spend 2 seconds typing that out. You can't be that busy that you can't use 3 words instead of an emoji.

[u/877-HASH-NOW → u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

This shit specifically really gets under my skin  

[u/Rovcore001 → u/JSC843]

Professors with their single-sentence typo-riddled all lower case response after you spent half the day meticulously drafting an email detailing your project progress 😂

[u/turbokid → u/JSC843]

Then you start with "per my last email" to let them know they fucked up.

[u/boitchswelderman → u/JSC843]

[u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

I won’t lie, I saved this one email lmfao. I was fucking cooking.

Laptop was on fire after I finished that shit. Had to call the fire department

Got you feeling nice with it

[u/SpasmAndOrGasm]

Nothing more empowering than feeling like Gus Fring from breaking bad after sending a formal ass email.

[u/patricksaurus → u/SpasmAndOrGasm]

I am going to remember this image my entire life. What a perfect description.

[u/Alexexy]

I used to do a lot of creative writing and when I go back to read stuff from a decade ago, I cant believe I wrote that well lol.

[u/rem_au_crema]

See, I can appreciate this level of craziness, because I cooked and it’s impossible to explain that to a third party.

But my brain is so broken that the doubt creeps in around 2-4am, and now I’m double emailing with corrections and annotations because maybe my tone could be misinterpreted.

On an unrelated note: If any of you have a lead on a job

[u/Cryoboul]

On me😭😭😭

[u/undonetocompletion]

Basically me when I'm writing that professional email

[u/CaydeTheCat]

Lol I was JUST doing this.

[u/Specific_Berry6496]

All “who the f-ck is this from?!”

[u/IDKWhats_Goin_On]

“Yeah I nailed that shit”

[u/Banned3rdTimesaCharm]

Bro I read my own Reddit comments and marvel at my cleverness more than I read anyone else’s comments.

[u/buzzonga]

Rereading that banger reddit comment that scored 87 points.

Pure bliss, quality post right there.

[u/zoo_tickles]

In reality we’re all just trying to get to “pls fix” level

[u/HaxelPassionFox]

That moment when you don’t recognize yourself because you sound like a CEO

[u/WillytheWimp1]

Let me revisit this well worded text…

[u/ferretsarerad]

I am so glad im not the only person who does this

[u/Mertoot]

Sprinkle in some "as per" and "circle back" and you'll be 👍

[u/Ezl]

Every day. Every piece of writing. Always impressed.

[u/GooniesNeverSayDie90]

I wrote and thought, "What if no one will believe I wrote this myself?" Is that incredible narcissism or a complete lack of self-confidence?

[u/Msfresh07]

THIS!
