"Me, writing an email:

I’m using an exclamation point so you know I’m friendly and excited! But now I’m using a period so that you know I’m not crazy. Here’s another sentence with a period as a buffer, proving my normalness. Thanks so much!"

      It’s the only way to show that you are a true professional. 🥇

      okay but in your work emails do you say “for fuck sake,” or “for fucks’ sake?” It’s an important distinction so that you sound professional.

      I as well tend to use them in a bit more professional situations as well.
      I want to show off as a relaxed person who doesn’t take even work that seriously!

        on my résumé I substitute the bullet points with emojis to ensure I stand out from other applicants, and so the hiring managers know what a pleasant fun person I am.
