This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I once received a verbal warning at work because my emails were too brief.

I have since moved to Spain where the email style is more brief and to the point. It is much better.

I think I once saw an email of a professor in response to a student's question that looked something like this:

Dear [student name],

No.

Regards.

That professor achieved the perfection which we should all aspire to.

I have selected Faresh's professor from the candidates. His email was....efficient.

As it should be, I figure. My work emails are pretty funny. Everyone follows standard letter format, but the main part is so short and minimal that it feels dumb to have used the proper greetings and closing format.
