Subject:Are You Annoying or Not? quiz From:"Jane Carnall" <jane -dot- carnall -at- digitalbridges -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 13 Feb 2002 17:21:41 -0000
I discovered when I did the Are You Annoying or Not? quiz this lunchtime
(http://www.amiannoyingornot.com/quiz2/) that I am Partially Annoying (I
scored 52). That sounds about right, as the following e-mail dialogue on
upcoming trip to New York illustrates. (I'm going to NYC in 8 days with my
friend L: she got the plane tickets and booked the hotel room on her credit
card.)
J: Can we meet up on Sunday evening? (I owe her a cheque, she needs to give
me my tickets, we need to swop travel insurance details: emphasis that it
had to be Sunday)
L: I can email flight numbers tonight so no panic, and bring tickets Sun.
Yes cheque on Sun would be good as I now have . Do you fancy the film? I'd
like to see it and worried I'll miss it between here and US!
J: What film?
L: Monsters Inc.
J: What about meeting Sunday evening for Monsters Inc, then? Do ticket and
cheque handover?
L: That's what I said in my first email!!!!!!!!!
J: No, it's not, but if it's what you meant, then we're agreed.
I fear that a passion for precision will always appear Partially
Annoying.... Do other technical writers have this problem, or is it just me?

a small rodent.
