Sticks and stones will break my bones.but names will never hurt me

Laughing all the Way to Work

FEBRUARY 8, 2009

I dont mind being referred to as someones assistant. My current boss always refers to me as his colleague, both to those within our company and to external contacts when referring them to me. I tend to use the term boss when I refer to my employer. Another great article Patricia. I like that! 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2009

Coming from a legal background, we were always taught if you are using an acronym or initialism in writing, on the first use you should spell it out and then put the acronym in brackets, which makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of head scratching and searching the document to figure out what the person is referring to. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.
