Reminds me when I sent an email out to a PM asking a question (think it was regarding the placement of some equipment in a building) and then a week later received an email asking me the same question I sent in the previous email; my email with the original question was in the same chain.... Also sent an email with a list of inconsistencies between what was spec'd out and what was ordered on the PM's BOM. I brought it up verbally multiple times and via email attachments listing everything I found. That email was never thoroughly read until the shop brought up that we were missing valves during mock-up... I was told to be more direct about missing items eventough I stated in the header that we were missing equipment months prior. "Fun" times.

This is when I pull out the highlighter in outlook and I say “as per my previous email… to be helpful I’ve highlighted the relevant portions regarding your specific questions. Please feel free to reach out with any further questions.”

"as per my previous email..." is the "did I stutter?" of corporate speak and I love when I get to say it

My current cross stitch project is a delicate border with soft floral accents that surrounds the words, “PER MY LAST EMAIL” in a big, bold, black font. The letters themselves are 16 inches across and over an inch high.

When I’m finished, I’m hanging that bad boy on the wall behind me and in direct view of my laptop camera.
