I use “best”, couldn’t care less if people hate it. It’s an email sign off and it’s professional, so they can get over it

You are really putting your heart into it, aren't you?

“Thanks.” If I’m irritated. “Thanks!” If I’m not. “Thank you for your patience,” if you need to find some patience.

I find “Thanks!” to be rude. If you’re asking somebody to do something for you, then it almost presumes that they will do it and you are saying “I know this was phrased as a question but you can’t say no, thanks”. Could also be perceived as a little passive aggressive. Just my two cents

Live long and prosper

Anything but “Best”. I literally throw up a little when I see that.

Terrible take. Best is the only acceptable sign off.

like

Sincerely for personal. Regards for professional.
Thanks - so you just assume I agree or will do the task? Presumptuous.
Best - what is this really?
Yours truly - save this for your lover
Best Regards - is this a hallmark card?
Cheers - fun, lighthearted, best for internal work emails or close professional contacts (in sales for example)

I mean, really depends on what the email is about.

Request for someone to do something / or response to someone’s request - “Thanks”

Email to a client / partner when I’m trying to be extra nice and it’s an initial email (non-chain) - “Warmly”

Someone is annoying me - “Regards”

Getting on a call soon - “Talk soon”

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
