I am starting to settle into my new job. One of the things I have to get used to in this company is the fact that employees are spread around geographically quite a lot. This means that instant messaging is frequently used.
I like to think that I am a very relaxed kind of person, perhaps even funny on my good days. It has really hit home today though about how poorly technology delivers emotion. It is so easy to misunderstand the written word in an email or instant message. Seems like an easy way for a funny person to get in trouble.
