Part of my job at work is putting together an internal newsletter format and template to be used to reduce the number of employee e-mails. I don't think it's fair that everyone should have to read all boring things, I have been putting together some useful tips to include as something interesting to read. These vary from how to save money, to how to greet people, to what not to say to people ( I HAVE been asked how much I weigh on the bus, this needs to be stopped.) In this process, I've learned a few things:
From an article in the Beijinger regarding Kublai Khan:
" vomiting and passing out were considered good form, demonstrating a guests joyous heart was at one with his host."
HMMMM, good form?
AND, I knew this, but I had never really thought about it.
Using the word "kindly" implies that you are actually angry. It's actually not all that polite. Most people don't realize this though.
