Note Optimization

Published December 27, 2009

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Note Optimization" published December 27, 2009 - Andy Fox: Have you written your thank-you notes yet? Peter Fox: Christmas was just two days ago. If I send them too quickly, it'll look like I just dashed them out. I want the recipients to think I labored on these notes...That I thought about and crafted each one with the utmost care. I figure if I wait two or three weeks, that'll be optimal. Andy Fox: Peter, all you're going to do is wait three weeks and then dash them out anyway. Peter Fox: But no one will know that. Andy Fox: How'd your notes start last year? "Dear person or persons who gave me a gift..." Peter Fox: Oh, c'mon - that could totally be read as a joke!
