Good question. I guess a mix of both. It would depend on the person, the project and the level of importance. So I don’t have a good answer…

Always just get to the point. I ignore all messages that they say "Good morning mikey" or "hey", I can see what you wrote without actually looking at the message and I intentionally leave those messages alone.

In my intro, it's "Dickwad, where are we at with this?" and then if it's something that I know can wait, I'll say, "This is low priority" or "this doesn't require an immediate reply/action" something like that...I might just be on a roll with what I'm doing and don't want to lose my thought on something...

I don't "hey" ... "a/s/l" my co-workers like a chimp...

Depends on who I'm talking to. If it's a buddy at work, I'll usually just IM them with Hey until they respond (they may not be there at the time). Other team members and the like? Ask the question in the initial IM.

Excel and how it trims leading zeros when you save as CSV.
Right click on the selected cells, go to Format Cells, select custom. Put a zero in the field to represent each character. (for instance, if you want a four digit number to have 3 leading zeros, type the 0 key seven times). hit enter. save.

That’s a no from me regarding the “hey” in teams chat. None of you plebs are too busy to hit someone back with a “hey” then have them dump the question to you. It’s a common courtesy and also signifies an official handoff of the question. You just IM me with a wall of text without a proper greeting, I’m going to ignore you and then throw you under the bus eventually

But when you open the csv in Excel the leading zeros are not visible anymore (although they are in the data if you open it in the text editor). Now if you now save the csv again the leading zeros are deleted from the data. I've been dealing with this for 20 years.

companies putting a rainbow filter on their logo. They don’t give have a **** about the LGBT communities; it’s all just a marketing scheme

Thought about this the other day when Rakuten updated their iOS app, and the only change was the logo, which is now in rainbow colors.

Dropped my daughter off at school, and some dipshit was flying down the road at probably double the speed limit. Blared my horn at them to get them to slow down, but they didn't care. Really would have loved to see a cop pull that c2isucker over. There were kids everywhere, as it was drop off time.

I thank my lucky stars every day that we live in a cul-de-sac, and I do not have to worry about cars speeding through my neighborhood.

That said, we go out on neighborhood walks and bike rides just about every day. There is a D-bag with a stupid black Jeep that has with all of the stickers on them (Hoonigan, Batman stickers, etc.). At the end of our street, there is a T-intersection with another residential street with a 3-way stop.

That motherfcker blows through that stop sign like it isn't even there. Look, I know that it isn't a super heavily trafficked neighborhood, and God knows I have done plenty of slow rolling stops around here. But there is a difference between slowing down to a crawl to look around and blowing through the stop sign at 30 mph. I know exactly where the shthead lives too.

On a side note, is there anyone that has Hoonigan-branded stuff that doesn't drive like a total ******? I feel like they go hand-in-hand.

If it's somebody in your neighborhood, I'd still talk to the local PD about it. There was a guy around the corner from us who constantly sped down our street. I knew where he lived based on seeing his truck while we go on our neighborhood walks. Called the police about it a few times, and they eventually stopped him and had a conversation with him. Haven't seen him do it since - and in fact, he hasn't used our street to cut through nearly as much as he used to.

That's a great idea--we do not have a local police department (PSP has jurisdiction), but maybe I will call the barracks.

I would say it's dependent on the company. Rakuten, for example, has a large office near where I worked in San Mateo south of SF, and they march in the Pride parade every year. I don't doubt their sincerity here.

Due to my noise sensitive dog, fireworks and redneck neighbors are really making me hate 'Murica.

Watched a YouTube video, sat through the 2 ads so that I could avoid them for a few videos, and at the end of the second ad, it paused for 10 seconds on the ad with a little countdown on the left side before playing the video. Get **** with that ****.

And also fireworks.

“Hey” if it’s someone I’m friendly with. “Got a sec?” if it’s someone I’m friendly-ish with. And for everyone else, I ask my question in the first ping, but it has to be a 1 sentence question.

…and you don’t ping people that you don’t work with regularly. That’s like walking into a strangers office and doing cartwheels and jumping jacks in front of their desk.
