MetaChat - I have a new communication strategy for work.

MetaChat is an informal place for MeFites to touch base and post, discuss and chatter about topics that may not belong on MetaFilter. Questions? Check the FAQ. Please note: This is important.

I have a new communication strategy for work. When drafting emails, use the same tone of voice I do on MetaFilter. I thought after half a decade they had graduated up to MeCha conversational status, but I'm downgrading them back to my "rational, measured, and impersonally polite" writing style.

I think my mistake was assuming that they, ya know, *knew* me.

I just flabbergasted my boss by telling him, "You know, considering my personality, I think the only thing keeping you from firing me is my dedication and accuracy."

I think I got this from MeFi, so you may have already seen it, but in case you haven't here's zefrank's communication skills video.

taz, that's definitely the subtle undercurrent of everything I send these days.
