I seriously think that some people are punctuation people and others are most definitely not. The others category are people usually hating those who overuse your average comma or exclamation point. I am most definitely a lover of punctuation. In college often the only comments I had on papers was "too many commas" or "no need for an exclamation point" but I seriously can't help it. I am a giddy person, I get excited and often write as I speak. I have no problem admitting that I love to use punctuation and do not apologize for doing so. The only problem that arises these days is I often have to write an email, save it, then come back to it a few minutes later and edit for punctuation. What is funny is that I know I am a very well trained technical writer. When I remember this, I will tone down my commas and only end sentences with periods. Other times I can't help the words pouring out of my fingertips and the sheer excitement I have when writing and my sentences are littered with unnecessary commas or brackets. (my guiltiest writing offense, I totally use ellipsis) Well, anyway, yeah I have a tinsy little problem with over-punctuating and I am totally fine with it in settings such as this silly little blog of mine. Goodness, my AP English teacher cringe at me saying that now...
So, as you can tell from my twenty exclamation points above, I am very excited that today is Friday and the weekend starts in two short hours. I don't know what my deal has been this week, usually I love coming to work, but I just can't get my head into my projects. Hoping a little weekend fun and resting will help me get more motivated for next week.
