Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Today I would like to make a quick comment about emails. We are in a world of texts and quick computer messages (whether facebook or IM or whatever). This sort of communication is awesome - it keeps us connected in a way I never would have dreamed of when I was in college. The thing about texts is we forego all capitalization and punctuation. Personally, I love it! From a guy who only shaves 4 times a month and never ties his shoes, this is yet another efficiency! However, we all need to be careful to not let this carry over to our professional lives when we are communicating with either our clients, supervisors, or worst of all - people we are trying to convince to hire us.

TBL - keep the punctuation and capitalization when sending important emails.

We ate supper at a Pub in Huntingdon. Below are pictures of the pub (Samuel Peppes) and my boss (looking rather European) in the pub.
