I saw wordle go through Matt’s flickr<\/a> so tried it out. The image<\/a> was created from the rss feed for this blog.<\/p>\n

First the griping; they don’t let you save the image but say that if you somehow manage to, then you have to attribute them and apply a Creative Commons license. If you’re going to bother with CC licensing<\/a>, why not have a save option? Seems defeatist or such.<\/p>\n

But it’s pretty interesting which words come up a lot. No surprise seeing “things”, which is my common word for vaguery. So much so that I’ve started using “bits” for a touch of variance. Otherwise, except for bowling popping up out of nowhere it’s pretty centric around.<\/p>\n

Let’s say that hypothetically you sent an email saying something like,<\/p>\n

My HSA still doesn’t have the 2\/28\/09 Employee or Employer deposits yet. What’s up?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And someone hypothetically wrote back,<\/p>\n

You really need to read your messages before you sent them, because your tone is often negative.<\/p>\n

Deposits are going in tomorrow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In this hypothetical situation, you didn’t have a scheduled HSA payment bounce because the 2\/28 deposit didn’t go in, and you didn’t send that email on the 9th, and you didn’t get that response on the 12th. Let’s just say that, and ignore it.<\/p>\n

Would you start using emoticons in work email? Googling for “smileys in work email” and “emoticons at work” returns only stupid graphic emoticon web spam in the top results.<\/p>\n

If I had thought about this beforehand, I would have a really hard time not responding with a “Actually, you need to not be so negative and assume I’m a jerk. Jerk.” or some snipe remark about charging interest until the deposit is there + a late fee. Because I’m sarcastic as hell, but I’d never for a moment consider myself negative. Maybe compromise on being a ‘realist’ or such, but not negative.<\/p>\n

Blah. The world sucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
