When you get cards at work

Guys/Gals - I'm no good at this.

When you get 'well' wishing cards at work do you send them to everyone listed on the card or do you send it to everyone in the department even if their name isn't listed on the card? Presumably if you buy chocolates it's for everyone so you would have to include the entire department in the email... How long is too long for a response saying thank you, a day, a week?

Help what is the procedure for this kind of thing.

A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    I'm as confused about the question as I am about the answer!
  • I wouldn't bother saying thanks for just a card. If there was also a pressie then I'd limit the email distribution to those who signed the card, as it was probably those names who contributed. As a new Dad it is quite within your rights to include a picture of the baby in the thank you email!

    Well...

    You single out the best looking burd who signed. You find the tightest trousers you can, then you boil wash them twice, and squeeze into them. Wear a short with a big collar and a bigger drop to first button that's done up.

    Then you sidle up to her, box of chocolates under your arm, and put on your best Latin American accent:

    "Hey there, sexy laydee! I like-a yewr wraiting. Yew have-a da nice-a hans. I theenk yew hans woulda looka gooda on mah sexy bahdy. Yew kner, ah have-a da full werking equipy-menty, yew see? [thrust forwards seductively, and gyrate slightly, so as to show off your sideways division sign. It is very important not to drop the chocolates on the floor at this point. Trust me on this. It's a real dealbreaker.] Yew an me, we make-a da no-pahnties dans all-a da night-a, yew like-a?"

    If she doesn't say yes, you're doing it wrong.

    As for the rest of the office, who cares?
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Where do you think I learned the difficult lesson not to drop the chocolates on the floor?

    My hero!

    Now all you need to get her to do is ride a bike. How do you do that in a Latin American accent?
