Slurping hot drinks and/or eating/chewing when not on mute. It incites murderous tendencies that only consultants withhold on a daily basis.

likefunny

I do too but I can’t when they’re talking AND chewing AND slurping at the same time haha

When someone messages me with "Hi need a favor" and won't expand on what it is until I respond.

C1 is the person we all are scared to get IMs from 😂

I have so many:
Reply all to say “thanks” to someone
Not reading my email and answering only 1 out of the 3 questions (I should learn my lesson and ask only one per email)
Adding people to the email chain so that it becomes confusing who is who
Email signatures with some pathetic quote or religious quote
People who skype me for favors (we are not friends!!)
Emails that don’t specify what exactly they want from you.

When people don't actually read your email and reply back without answering your questions 😑

My pm uses literally no punctuation, like he wants everyone to think he’s too busy for commas. Every email reads like this:
“Hi
I just noticed that this is incorrect and also I remembered that I need you to do x and y ideally I need this immediately and also I am very stressed
Please return ASAP
Thanks
(his name)”
Makes me feel like he’s going to have a heart attack at any given point

Getting them/non-friends using it as a way to communicate.

-> Signatures being too long on drawn out email chains where reading the whole chain from the beginning is important.

like

Email, no contact details in their signature. Skype, people who keep IM-ing me when it's clear I'm presenting or in a conference call. Also, IM-ing me asking for a quick call and then immediately calling me before I had a chance to respond. I don't answer your call on principle.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?
