I probably have written about this before. If I have though, I can't find it. Tone is part of this. Online tone is definitely a part of this, but only a subset of the topic. The best example most people can probably relate to is something like a car mechanic, a plumber, or an electrician.… Continue reading Manners: Levels of Knowledge

Manners: Book the Room
I don't work in the office every day, but when I do I sometimes need to book a conference room.
