        <description><![CDATA[1. Never, ever, ever write anything in email that all eyes shouldn't see. Someone will forward your &quot;confidential&quot; email to nine other people &quot;innocently&quot; to gather more info, etc. Like hard drives failing, this WILL happen if you're not uber-careful.2. If I get one more email of some outdated story that was already proven false on Snopes.com that has 97 recipients in the CC field (including me), I'll go bonkers. Please, if you have to send out these useless emails, ALWAYS BCC ALL OF YOUR RECIPIENTS. Let's have some courtesy.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&gt;&gt;The two men, thinking they had ended the call, began making negative gender-based remarks about the supervisor, who heard every word.Yeah, that was pretty dumb. Had they made complimentary remarks, they'd probably be supervisors by now...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Nobody likes the way their voice sounds on a recording.  However, what you hear on a recording is pretty much what other's hear when you talk to them... so what's the difference?  I say use your own voice and sound more professional.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I use the system greeting on my phone because of the way my voice sounds in recordings.  I can't help the annoying pitch of my voice when speaking directly to someone and can usually overcome it by my demeanor.  However, in my casse I think the system greeting sounds better and I cannot overcome the impression through my demeanor in voicemail.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[And one of the most dangerous ones: be careful what you post to social web sites under your professional name.I appreciated the one about recording your own voice mail greeting.  Even worse than using a delegate's voice is allowing the default greeting to remain on line.  This says you aren't even aware of the option to change it.]]></description>
