My manager told me in my annual performance review that he appreciates me, and that didn't bother me at all. Frankly, it's been a tough year for all of us, and I was happy to hear it.

Hi, this is Eric from energy solutions. I've been getting more of these lately, and it's inevitably followed by "How are you doing today?" I've just run out of patience, so my standard response is: "Busy." <<click>>

I get a chuckle listening to people pronounce the word "texts". It comes out sounding like anything from "Texas" to.....well...other stuff. People don't say "test us" for "tests" so it is really baffling to me why it's so hard for them to say "texts". I mean...if you can say "text"...just say "text" again when you mean "texts" and you'll be good. Is the proper phrase "I just text you" or "I just texted you"? This drives me insane.

I just like to simplify it and say "I just sent you a text"

I typically include punctuation in texts but was informed by a colleague once that I "was being too proper" in doing so.

We had a guy who would use three commas instead of periods. I called him Comma Chameleon, in honor of Culture Club.
