I absolutely adore my great great grand boss (that’s 4 levels above me… like vice provost level) but dang that email signature is like a page and a half…
I appreciate if they list honorifics, because when I’m including them in a letter, I always have to play the “are they a P.E.?” game
You know who I am
That’s the wonderful thing about Tiggers.
Wow with the hard r
I know who I am! I’m a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude!!
That picture of Ruffalo looks like they told him to pose for a tintype from the 1800s
It’s for this reason I am certain that the most intelligent people are not members of Mensa.
As a former Mensa member, I always tell people who are considering it that the biggest problem with Mensa, is that Mensa is full of people who want to be in Mensa.
I wish I were intelligent, does this mean I am a good fit for Mensa?
I’ve meet Mensa members. Im not sure I wanna be in that group. Not all of them, but A LOT of them.
Here’s a hint. You’ve heard of gaydar right. It’s like a separate sense that some gay people claim they have in being able to detect if others are of a similar fashion? (Yes I understand this could viewed as insensitive but my old gay friends still use it and it’s to illustrate a point so bear with me). Well smart people have it too. Granted I’m not genius level or anything but I can tell when others are what I would consider highly intelligent or necessarily aren’t. Don’t get me wrong, less intelligent people can be interesting AF, but you can usually tell. I sure as shit don’t need a membership to a group I have to pay to join to prove it. If I feel the need to join Mensa to prove I’m intelligent, doesn’t that sorta defeat the purpose?
I’ve always imagined it being the Venn diagram intersection of high IQ and arrogance, is that correct?
I use Dr. and make a point to, but only because it reminds me of a character from TV which tickles my funny bone.
That, and I tell them “Just Professor is fine, too, it makes me feel like I’m in Fire Emblem Three Houses.”
That fact that you mention Three Houses make me think you mention that because you wanna bang your students.
I mean, or murder the ones who won’t have a tea party with me.
The number of titles I use depends hugely on how much I like someone. More means less.
One of my profs signed their emailss with just their initials. But not fancy, just the two letters in lowercase with a dot afterwards.
A dot afterwards? Now that’s fancy!
Where’s the, “my email address in the from field will do”, fall on this? 😂
Ikr, it’s literally my full name@company
with what little email i send these days, this is me. i come from the era where every byte mattered, and i tend to keep mails as short, direct and to the point as i can.
I’m a nobody who cares - I’m important address me by my full name and position - You know who I am <------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
