You’re a Jerk, Google – WDGTINT

In this edition of Why Does Google Think I Need This, Google calls me irresponsible.

Thanks, Google. I’ll go read that after I finish bouncing some checks and leaving dirty dishes around my house.

I’m an adult with a real job.

But I can still make fun of adults with real jobs, specifically those who end emails in “Thoughts?” See such a conversation below.

Corey: Thoughts?

Me: Let’s discuss.

Corey: Please see my comments below in another obnoxious color so you know how awesome I am.

Me: Let’s have a brief meeting to plan a better time to further discuss this.

Corey: I’m now going to tell you to remember to Reply All while I “Cc:” everyone else so they know that you’re a technological invalid.

Me: I’m just going to respond quickly and briefly with an asinine question so that the responsibility “ball” for this project is in your responsibility “court.” Also, I’m going to use a sports metaphor.

Corey: I’m going to pretend that I didn’t get that last message by erasing it from this one and continuing on with my preferred plan of attack and hope that everyone reads this message before yours and assumes that any pertinent information you had will already be in my reply.

Me: Even though I have NOTHING TO SAY I feel that my mastery of making emails look important will prevent anyone from noticing that I am:

  • clearly an idiot
  • self-important
  • spending way more time formatting the email than thinking of important facts to put in it.
  • Now I’ll sign off with a fake impressive sounding title.

    PS – I reiterate; THIS IS IMPORTANT but is probably really just about someone making a mess in the kitchen.

    Corey: Thoughts?
