email signatures aren't a strange thing - most of the time.
most people have fairly simple sigs - you know - name, maybe their title at the company, etc.
some people find it a chance to display their over-wowing prowess and great accomplishments
i recently got a sig like this attatched to an email:
M*** B****, BS, BSN, MSN, CDE
Director of *********
Asst Director to *********
Division of *********
Department of ******
work address
city, state, zip
work number
home number
work email
home email
work website
If this communication involves discussion of patient care issues in the performance improvement process, it is protected from discovery by **** Evidence Code 1157 as a confidential medical staff communication.
-i was looking for the name of her firstborn child as well - it has enough information on there that i don't think we'll have to ask for her resume if she's looking for a job. --i'm not really sure what a CDE is either - i'm pretty sure that one's made up. also, if you've got a higher degree, why list your bachelors? seriously, if you've got a masters i think you've proven that you've moved on. plus, who wants to write the letters BS after your name. maybe it is BS - i'm pretty sure my degree in microbiology was BS - hardly remember a thing.
-last year when i was doing my fellowship i sometimes made up this fake sig that i would write out to look important. it said my name with one set of letters, such and such -- (big university name, etc) i really only did it if i wanted a response quickly. it seems like people write back faster if you appear to be important. maybe that's why people put all those letters and such after their names
-another email i used to get commonly from one of the administrators always had this on the bottom with her sig:
can you remember the last time you printed an email? i'm pretty sure i haven't in at least 5 years. i guess if it had directions on it? (just punch it into your phone - it'd be faster) i think i'm now considering the environment - DELETE or better yet "hide all gertrude"
-maybe the best was one i got yesterday from work. this little beauty appeared after her qualifications and address:
I'm not really sure what elmo has anything to do with integrity. anyone who's nick name is "tickle me" quickly loses all notions of credibility. and is he at a disco? maybe integrity is just 'stayin alive'

Integrity....it's what you do when no one's looking.

Mark - I couldn't agree more, it's so annoying when people feel the need to make themselves look important by adding all their information. Thanks for the tangent!
