  1. "I am not a skirts and high heels person," a professional in a casual office said to me. That sort of limits her ability to move forward.
  2. Not everyone prefers perky, happy, chirpy. Do you know how to read the signals?
  3. People disregard their appearance, go through days barely presentable, as though to say, "I don't care about me and neither should you."
  4. If you can't say anything nice . . . at least say it quietly and privately instead of broadcasting rudeness.
  5. Many people hide things well. You don't know if the reason you got snapped at is because someone is mean--or because the heart is hurting.
  6. If you work in an open office environment, think about your personal noisemaking proclivities. Listening to you hack up a lung is awful.
  7. "You're welcome." Not "Your welcome." "You're" means "you are."
  8. When you're worried and you can't sleep, try counting your blessings instead of sheep and you'll fall asleep . . . great song, great advice.
  9. Don't be angry about the fact that people judge by appearances. Our four senses are all we have w/ which to make initial assessments.
  10. . . . the negativity [email] sometimes encourages must be actively resisted by those who wish to be great communicators--Frank Luntz
  11. At a business lunch or dinner? Don't order food that's hard to eat and easy to spill, like spaghetti. It's about business, not about food.
  12. Remember: there's no "x" in the words "escape" or "especially
  13. "It's" is a contraction for "it is." Don't use an apostrophe unless you mean "it is."
  14. You do not create a plural by adding an apostrophe and an "s." Example: you buy burritos, not burrito's. Plural adds an "s" or "es," not '
  15. "A lot" is two words, not one. "You're" is a contraction for "you are," so one writes "You're welcome," not "Your welcome." More to come.
  16. Stood in line @ Costco in front of an absolute shrew, listening to her berate her granddaughter. Can you hear yourself?
  17. Honest to God: in the word "often," the "t" is silent.
  18. Write a letter or email to management when you've rec'd excellent customer service. Commend those who have done you well.
  19. Ladies: when dressing for a job interview, SPANDEX IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.
  20. Do you know how you look when you eat? I've dined with those whose habits are revolting and I avoid meals with them. Think about it.
