    this is accurate

    edit: I have been told at work that I’m too difficult/aggressive/rude because of my straightforward text conversation manner. I add lols to messages to make tone more clear. every time I do that, I think of the millenial lol and that I’m not even doing it by choice there. dw, there are plenty of conversations at work that I do use it willingly in though. and overly much, at time

        I don’t know if you want to responds but I’m going to give it anyways since your comment was still in my inbox

        I’m a dude that’s clearly a dude, but no aggressive appearance or attitude or anything. it’s just that I am a remote employee and so I’m often dealing with people who haven’t even met me in person yet, or if they have maybe it’s only been once. and I’m working on so many different things that I’m not going to take the time to do pleasantries for each thing
