This Is This

Work Conversation

Colleague: Did you know about the thing?

Me: No.

Colleague: OK, because I sent you two emails about it.

Me: Ah.

Colleague: No, I know you’re always keen to talk instead of email.

Me: Yeah, I have about 230 unread emails. It’s never the best option.

This is true. There is a note at the bottom of my emails that says:

Cliff Jones
Title, Job
Big Company

Is your electronic reply really necessary?
If not, call
Tel: +44 (0) phone number
Mobile: +44 (0) mobile number
or
email: myemail@BigCompany.com

Colleague: 230 work emails?

Me: Yeah, I get about 80 emails a day. That’s not even the other things.

Colleague: Such as?

Me: There’s always loads of porn and stuff.

Colleague: Really?

Me: Yeah, but no one ever replies.

Colleague: Funny guy. Are you here all week?

Me: I am.

Colleague: Shame.
