Ya ok ummm so I was forced to communicate with a client via email because the phone number he gave me wasn't working. When I emailed him for the first time, I was operating under an assumption that the level of sophistication at which I should try to communicate with him was high. I think that's a natural assumption; in a professional environment, you should make an effort to maintain an appropriate level of sophistimacation. Not weird English-butler level, but just a nice, professional, high level. So I emailed him in an appropriately sophisticated voice. I then received a voice mail from him apologizing that his phone had been turned off, and that if I called again and I should be able to reach him. In his voice mail, he too seemed to be trying to communicate in a professional way. It was a very business-normal message. But I tried his phone again, and got the same result. I then emailed him:
Hi Gamorrean Guard
I received your voice mail, and tried to return, but when I call your phone it doesn't really seem to do anything (no rings, no beeps). The number that I have for you is קםער-קצצ-תפש. Is that correct? We can schedule over email if that's easier for you. If you could just let me know what times of the week you are available for an hour-and-a-half long interview, I can see how we could fit it into our schedule. Thanks
CARL
And this was his reply:
Ya ok idk I never hear you call but ummm really anytime cause my work is kinda flexible let me know when you can
Gamorrean Guard
Really, Gamorrean Guard? You know you can think about what you've written before you send it in an email, right? You don't have to just send whatever pops into your head first. Um idk I guess sum ppl aren't worried about how the way they communicate can make others perceive them lmao.
