Random Crap-ola

1. It creeps me out when business contacts use emoticons in correspondence. There is just no place for it and it makes me picture a grown man as a 16 year old girl texting on her Swarovski Crystal encrusted phone.

It makes me wonder if they are only using it when emailing me, a young(ish) woman, or if they use that with their superiors and older business contacts too. Something tells me it's probably just me. Ah, to be a woman in the workplace.

My vagina requires a smiley face to understand what you are saying!

2. I have been battling allergies all week and had to raise the white flag and stay home from work yesterday. This is what my cat does when I am not feeling well:

Please ignore how disheveled I am and just focus on the adorable kitty kisses!


3. My sister, being the best sister in the world, got me a gift card for shoes for my birthday. It was burning a hole in my wallet so I bought some hot new birthday shoes on Sunday:


They were immediately worn to work on Monday. Man, do I love me some shoes!


That's all I have for you! Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Does it really mean summer is almost over?

How do you feel about emoticons? I admit I use them in emails with friends but I have never used one in a work email.

  2. I agree they do not (emoticons) belong in the workplace, too informal.

    LOVE the shoes, great choice!

  3. I think it depends on the business relationship, but I do agree; they are quite informal. I'm sure I've slipped and done it, though. Oops! I tend to be an emoticon junkie.

    Love, love the shoes!!

  5. Just looking at your shoes makes my feet ache. Stupid fat pregnant feet :)
