I
really hate it when someone at work will send me a direct message that simply
says, “Hi.” I move on to something else, waiting for whatever should come next,
but it never does. It’s only later that I realize that the person won’t
continue until I say “Hi” back. I don’t understand why people need some sort of
acknowledgment before they can convey their request. Just send it all in a
single message. I don’t have time for that kind of nonsense. I guess the bright side is that it usually takes me so long to get back to them that they've reached out to someone else to answer their question.
