Just so they know i got it.

Boo on the creeps, inter-webs.<br /><br />I've definitely thought about the work email thing--I try to have my response close it up and have a final closing line in there like you have, and just consider anything sent in response to my response a bonus.Diana Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08445381439041953662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-79037197457738990062013-03-08T18:24:13.350-05:002013-03-08T18:24:13.350-05:00I tots agree that the internet is oober creepy!

After researching infertility procedures and medications, along with shoes, jewelry, restaurants, etc. I never know what's going to pop on my sidebar. I don't like it. It makes me feel like a femara-addled foodie :) And I'm of the less is more approach with emails. Unless they ask a question, you don't really need to respond further. There's this lady who always sends me a thank you for my thank you cards. It's sweet, but mostly tacky. And now I don't send her thank you cards anymore. It's too stressful!Brenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03245204533317669757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-12780963328985147182013-03-08T17:35:47.127-05:002013-03-08T17:35:47.127-05:00My favorite show Parks and Rec had an episode abou...My favorite show Parks and Rec had an episode about that where Ron Swanson (main character with mustache) is creeped out by the personalized ads online:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP7ebyqBn_MChristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231218256712238474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-56811966534266797662013-03-08T17:25:37.093-05:002013-03-08T17:25:37.093-05:00I agree with Amanda on the email etiquette.

And you better believe I got all kinds of car ads when we were car shopping in the fall!<br /><br />Ok so in the beginning of my time in Corporate America, I always responded with a "You're welcome" or something to that effect, but at some point a boss pointed out to me that I didn't have to respond to every single e-mail because a lot of times the response is assumed, so now I think twice. I think it depends on your audience and on how many e-mails that person likely has to deal with. For example, when I e-mail with our VP, I use the "less is more" approach. But if I'm e-mailing a co-worker/friend that I talk to a lot, then I'll probably throw in an "any time!" or something like that. Ok sorry, long explanation.The Joinershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17715611064992379623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-29041902872700530792013-03-08T13:19:39.148-05:002013-03-08T13:19:39.148-05:00I noticed the robots a few weeks/months ago.. now ...I noticed the robots a few weeks/months ago.. now I don't remember.

I think it would be annoying myself (if it's work related in particular), but we had this issue with a client. My assistant did NOT replay with a "You're welcome!" and the guy wrote to me saying he thought it was rude because he is "the client after all". <br /><br />Personally, I think that guy is a big, oversensitive, douche. But sometimes at work we have to assume everyone is that touchy and kiss their ass. <br /><br />You're welcome for providing no answers, only more confusion :)Mo (New on U)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04805923529272507236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-83530855703570115922013-03-08T10:17:32.694-05:002013-03-08T10:17:32.694-05:00I would just like to say that my friend is one of ...I would just like to say that my friend is one of those internet robots and I am going to send him this post to let him know he is doing his job!

My niece turns 1 on Saturday, so I bought her some shoes from Amazon. Being the good internet shopper that I am, I googled the shoes to make sure I was getting the best price. Now those DARN shoes and everything associated with Stride Rite is ALL OVER the place, Facebook, news articles, gmail. I've seen those shoes a hundred times in the last 3 days. Ridiculous.
