What the hell have y'all been doing? I know y'all missed me! I slightly missed y'all too... I'm lying, but it's nice to say right. I hope y'all had a great Labor Day. I know I did! Went on a cruise to the Bahamas, read the new Harry Potter book, started the Peculiar Children series, and ate everything that Carnival had to offer! And Sprint, I hate them so much, but that free international data!!!... Man listen, Sprint had made fetch happen for me! Celebrated 6 years of Interesting, or what others would call it, Marriage, with the boo thang and spent a whole lot of money that I didn't have. Needless to say, I was ubering everywhere when I got back to the states. Now let's get into the reason for today's blog cause I'm about to check some people in my life.... Ready?... LET'S GET IT. LET'S GO!
I am a Configurations and Compliance Specialist for an aviation company. Sounds cool right? Just don't ask me what I do, cause hell, half the damn time, I don't even know. To be honest, it really doesn't matter because they pay me good and the check clears every 1st and the 15th, MESSAGE! Anyway, I deal with a lot of emails, it's a necessary tool to communicate with different people and departments within the company. Plus it's the best COVER YOUR ASS tool when shit hits the fan. I'm quick to be like, "You want me to do what? CAN I GET THAT IN AN EMAIL! THANK YOU!" I deal with the inadequacies of competence when it comes to proper email etiquette on a daily basis in my career, so what I will not do is deal with that same incompetence in my personal life. With that being said.... BCC ME HOE!!!!
Now about this Reply All... STOP IT! No one cares about you and your issues. Most of the time, your reply isn't even needed at all. You just want to be seen and ain't nobody here to see you OTIS! You just got everybody's phone vibrating and ringing just for you to say, "THANK YOU." You have started a whole damn chain of people trying to be seen with you. You done said, "Thank You.", now here comes 15 other people that feel obligated to say the same. Wait... now that I think about it, did you not BCC ME HOE cause you wanted us to openly thank you to boost your little ego and self-esteem. Oh, see now you done messed up, cause I'm the type of person to check you in front of those 50 people... ask the Manager of Records lol. I kid, I kid.... I don't... but I will. Anyway, just don't do it. This also goes for GROUP TEXT!! STOP IT! And update your damn phone to a better operating system that shows you that you are in a group text. There are still people texting me after a group text asking, "Who is this? How did you get my number? Do I know you?" No dumb ass you don't. It's a group text because our friend is too lazy to call and text us individually. But don't worry, if they are hanging out with dumb asses like you, we won't friends too much longer.
If you, for whatever reason, find yourself in a 14 email thread, cause the shit gets out of control fast, do us all a favor and read the whole thread before you throw your useless information and opinion in there. I am simply unable to can, "can't" for you slow ones, with people that reply all to an original email when we are already 15 emails in. That just makes you look like a dumb ass, and I can guarantee you that the people that do this are already seen as a dumb ass and doing things like this only confirms that they are. You don't want to confirm your dumb ass-ness. That's not a good look. I'm already pissed that the HOE didn't BCC ME, now here comes 15 reply alls that were unnecessary, and here you go replying all to the original email. Just shut the hell up! Lawd please smite their email account.
I refuse to let yall continue to ruin my personal time. I'm just gonna start putting yall on blast in a reply all. I mean, you really left me no options but to hurt your feelings or block you. Like I have posted before, time heals all wounds and I'm sure that the Lawd wont smite your life cause I blocked you. BUT DID YOU DIE? I do want to wrap this up with one more thing though. I DON'T WANT TO BE IN ANOTHER GROUP ME!!! Man listen, I'm already apart of like 10, and 10 of them are on mute. We already ain't talking about shit and this new group is just a variation of people in the other groups. Yall just being petty and don't want them to see. I promise you, if you add me its going to read just like this... "DumbAss has added Duke to the group"..."Duke has left the group". In that order. Try me. On top of that, don't send a mass email, that you didn't BCC ME on, to tell me that we are moving to GroupMe. Why? Again... I already want you to BCC ME HOE, I don't want to see the reply alls, and they aren't going to read the thread before replying. No, I don't want your email No, I don't want to give you mine! No, I don't care about your reply! STOP WASTING MY TIME! No, I don't want no scrubs... oh wait... I got caught up... SHHHIT... Anyway... MOVE ALONG... Didn't I just write a whole blog on this? Now you are going to put all of my concerns and irritations in one magnified place. Like Brandy's record label, I don't want it. Like Naomi Campbell's edges, I'm not here for it. Whoooooooooo, deep breath. Let me take 10 mgs of my get right and govern yourselves accordingly.
Sophistication:
Silently and peacefully protesting something that you strongly believe in and standing by those convictions in the time when the world is trying to discredit you
Ratchet:
Actively trying to shame and ridicule someone expressing their personal convictions and not harming you in any way, instead of focusing on the real issue
NOW PUT THEM TOGETHER.... AND LET'S DISCUSS WHO'S THE REAL PROBLEM!!
Sincerely Yours,
Duke R. de la S.
