I always let at least 1 other person proofread my text messages to any kind of professional contact

Remember to check that you didn't sign off with "Kind retards".

Once I started an email to a client with, "Hell Janice,".

... And then click send, and check what you just sent.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

And it’s still wrong or unclear somehow.

Im in this Picture and I dont like it.

Sending attachments puckers my butthole. So many times there has been horny right next to what I need. I freeze and don't touch anything, make the next move very slow and sure. It's important not to fall into target fixation though.

It could happen to anyone.

It would help if I just named everything that well. Everything on my pc is just a random mishmash of numbers and letters, or some naming scheme I came up with and can't remember how to decipher. CBT247domFFM is actually the finalized financial marks document for counter balance transactions from the 24th of july.

You name your files with hungarian notation?

Hahaha I'm the exact same way. I've found my people!

"Is this seemingly random string of numbers and letters the result of some kind of coded system I created and can't figure out or remember, or did I just mash the keyboard when titling this file because I couldn't be fucked? Who knows!" Dammit, me!

Where in SharePoint can I find either of those files? 😈

My dude you need to learn about folders

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 year ago

Downloads is technically a folder

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

Gotcha, Downloads and Downloads(1)

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

Separate Folders!!!

Pointing and calling saves lives.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 year ago

this hits deep as someone who is a compulsive checker

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Yup. But on the upside I also never messed up a dd command. So there is that.

[-] BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

And yet you still forget the attachment because you spent too long proofreading the email.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

I do this too because every other word in my head is vulgar.

[-] oyfrog@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

One problem I used to have was using the wrong email address to send work-related stuff. Now, work stuff lives in outlook and my personal stuff lives in whatever non-outlook email client doesn't suck.

This is not to say outlook is great—i fucking hate it.

[-] Mechaguana@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

I actually sent the opposite of a motivation letter and got into pretty hot water because I didn't proof read the sent document.

Boy did I get into hot waters that week
