- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Don't you just love it when some doofus a couple of cubicles away has to use their phone to call you rather than get off their lazy backside and walk over to talk to you face-to-face? Especially when you're in the middle of another face-to-face conversation so it's a way to interupt you and whoever you're talking to because they think they're way more important than whatever else you're doing.
Cheers,
Dave

Communication Depends Upon Their Weakness (Score:5, Funny)
I will vary my medium depending upon the Achilles Heel of the co-worker I need to intimidate, ermmm, communicate with. Afterall, the Office is a Battlefield, and communication is ammunition. You wouldn't go after a vampire with kryptonite or take on General Zod with with a clove of garlic, so don't make a similar mistake in real life. The choice is among three weapons, really: E-Mail, Phone, Face-to-Face.
Never let a Sales Guy get you on the phone: it's like bringing a sword to an Indiana Jones fight. You keep everything in e-mail for the Sales Guy; don't listen to the Sirens' Call!
There are always the "creative" types, or young punks who were raised online... these hipsters will weave e-mail rings around you. Nip their emoticon-laden shenanigans in the bud by marching down to their office or cube and having a face-to-face with them while standing a good six inches into their personal space. Grip their shoulder periodically. New Media-savvy hipsters hate having their shoulders gripped.
And be sure to phone the face-to-face time-wasters. These are often women, who will use (either intentionally or subconsciously) the insufficient volume of fabric in their skirts or blouses to achieve distraction and misdirection. Counter that cleavage with some Clausewitz, who said that "the third rule is never to waste time." So Scarlet Pimpernel her ass by avoiding any face-to-face while dive-bombing her voicemail box constantly and off-hours.
happy to help...
