While I have fully adjusted to a more formal work environment, strict hours, no jeans except Friday... there is one thing I can't get over not using. And that's my AIM! How wonderful were the days that I used to use Aim at work.
How I used AIM:
- Check to see who is online and working. If they are available to call or email or IM? Instead of calling - just ping see if it's a good time to contact them with a "yt?"
- Same thing with dropping by someone's cube. IM with a "Can I come by?" or "Can I call?"
- Ping other people in remote offices with quick questions. That are typically yes and no answers.
- Send URLs instantly
- Let someone know to expect your email - yes, we did that...
- Finally, a quick fast way to socialize with your co-workers with one liners... Lunch? 10 minute break??? etc.
Not having it feels as if one of my senses has been cut off.
