Monday Mission 3.45

Hey Howdy Hey!

Guess who's back? No, not Shady, 'tis me!

Didja miss me? Huh? Didja? Huh? Huh? Didja? Didja?

Well, I'd like to say I crafted a most excellent Monday Mission for you, but I think it is merely above average. I honestly expected to have more free time out there in Cali, but I didn't. But that is for another post. For now, let's get it on....

PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.45

1. I've found myself using abbreviations and acronyms a lot when I "talk tech" with other geeks like me. I rattle off things like "I took the Jay-Peg into Photoshop and made it into a Jiff for the EightchTeeEmmElle. Then took the Kadd and saved it as a PeeDeeEff with EechsEmElle. So now I'll blog this for you in EmmTee in my PeeDeeAyy so you can use your ArrEssEss reader, hope this isn't too OhhTee. BeeArrBee." Do you ever sling slang from your area of expertise around accidentally and leave folks scratching their heads? Do you feel left out when others start speaking in terms specific to their industry? Gimme some examples!

2. My hotel room this past weekend was on the 8th floor. I rode the elevator a LOT. There is a lot of unspoken elevator etiquette, you know? Here are some of my observations (this is freestyle here - add to them or just tell me what you think) When to hold the door, when to let it shut. Do you put your hand in to re-open it if you are too late to get in? Do you hit the "open" button if you see someone running to the door? Do you press the numbers for everyone? Where do you look as you are going to your floor when you are in there with someone you don't know?...

3. Some of the meetings at the conference were just plain dull, I almost fell asleep a few times. How do you make it through a boring conversation or meeting when you are feeling drowsy?

4. Do you enjoy flying on commercial airlines? Ever flown First Class?

5. When I book my airfare, I always try to book an aisle seat on the left by the exit doors. That way you have more legroom, and being a "righty" I am able to move my arm and elbow without jabbing someone's belly. When you fly, where do you like to sit?

6. Have you ever jumped to conclusions and griped someone out, then later learned you didn't have all the facts? Or had it happen to you? What was the real story?

7. At the conference, I saw several "Tablet PCs" and now I really want one. And Digital MP3 player. I don't ask for much. Do you have any techno-lust going on?

BONUS: Where do you go, my lovely?

Today's Comment Question: I've been gone almost a week, what did I miss in your life while I was away?
