no “thanks!”

I realize how juvenile it sounds to end all my work emails with “Thanks!”, and I think it’s time to retire the cutesy PR chick persona. I know what I’m doing, and I don’t have to graciously ask you to do your job.

That said, I will still wear ridiculously high heels, form-fitting pencil skirts, and long hair. I’ll just speak/email with a more authoritative tone.
