You know what Susan? I'd never have to make that sign inviting people in to talk. I don't know what it is-... People who work for the State maybe??? Or most likely it's me.... i just don't know. :( This'll sound REALLY snooty, but I think you all know what I mean... we all have an uhhhhhhhhhhhh...... "A" list of people we know who could talk with us at ANY time- and we don't think twice about hanging with them when possible... (PS- when using my "no stop-n-chat" sign I did alert these folks that they had cart blanche..or howeveryouspellit...) It's those people who you could actually say "get outa here man!!! I gotta work!!!!!!! GEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And they would LEAVE. It would be /funny/ but they get it. There's more up here than not where *I* work- where you hem and haw and squirm and "welp" and they do_NOT_GO. They don't get it. Ehhhh..... heh! I've been having a alot of fun with this and I hope no one takes offense.. so far- the few days I've used it- it works. :) Michelle --On Saturday, August 13, 2005 10:39 AM -0700 Susan Kline <skline@peak.org> wrote: > At 11:22 AM 8/12/2005 -0400, you wrote: >> NO "STOP-N-CHAT" >> I GOTTA WORK. >> >> >> (then- I put a scull and crossbones below this statement.) >> >> I'm going to use it today for the first time. > > Hi, Michelle -- > > How about having the other side read, "Open for CHAT"? > Then, if you're doing some stupid, repetitive job, or just happen to feel > like touching bases with everyone, they know that you are ready to gab. > > Also, if they know about the other side, and they see the skull and > crossbones, they know that you really do need to work, and aren't just > bored or mad at them. > > sssssssnnn, who always chats too much > _______________________________________________ > caut list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
