| Don't send out emails right away, especially if it is an emotional matter. Wait a little while and review what you have written with an ear for how it might come across to the reader. I usually opt to soften the tone. |

Which is not nice.
Sometimes, though. It's like dealing with chimps. I swear to god. |

| Yeah, that one is so dumb. The CEO at the company I work for wants people to say "Terrific!" when asked how they are. Always. Why ask how someone is, then? He could just say: CEO: "Ook Ook?" EMPLOYEE: "Ook!" It is literally that meaningless. I think it's all about reassurance - maybe regarding hiera... |

| "Breakfast of Champions" is a great book. I've read everything of his except "Player Piano", for some reason. "The Sirens of Titan", "Welcome to the Monkey House" and "Slaughterhouse Five" are also wonderful reads. "The Stand" may be my all time favorite novel, maybe tied with "Carrion Comfort" by D... |

| I don't think that most people with Asperger's feel they need to stress these sorts of words. Like when Sammy Davis Jr. would follow up a compliment with "and I mean that!" Like he needed to give a special emphasis when he was telling the truth. Aspies take sincerity for granted but it is sometimes ... |
