Also: How to ask a question, courtesy Microsoft. Which I wouldn't normally link to, but Jesus, doesn't it just strike you as beyond fucking arrogant and smug?

HEY!!!!

LOL. That SOB sticker was on every cleaner in my entire house when I was a kid. . .without him I probably would have actually drank the bleach ;P

What SOB sticker?!?

[twistedwithin.livejournal.com]

The big green "Mr Yuck".
*shrug*
It might be a New York thang. They (I am not sure who "they" are actually) would send a envelopes full of round, fluorescent green, "Mr Yuck" stickers to every house. Parents were supposed to stick them on everything that was poisonous. . .If I recall correctly there was poison control phone number on the sticker also.

I saw that and had a momentary childhood flashback. Sue me ;P

I wouldn't say Bush is the only one that is a disaster to hit the US, but he is without argument number 1.

Yeah, at least when Clinton blew a load it didn't drown thousands of people. :-\

that 'how to ask a question' thing made the rounds internally at MS awhile ago, and a lot of people were really concerned about it. i wrote them a nasty comment at the time. someone needs to moderate that shit.

I thought it was a pretty good piece actually.

This is my favorite bit:

Also, saying "Thank you" and letting people understand that you care about their time and effort is a good way of getting noticed. However, saying "Thank you in advance" is not, and most people feel bad about it because they read it as "I have a very urgent question I want you to help me with, but I don't really have the time to come back and personally thank you, because it's MY time I care about, not yours"...</>

Is there any better sign that your company has a monopoly than the fact that you're lecturing your customers on their etiquette? "Be polite, or we won't help you, and then you'll be screwed..."

I believe it was in fact written by a non-Microsoft employee. At least it says the author was an MVP (http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/). And it really is good advice.
