		<description>&lt;b&gt;11. SUPER BUSY! ! !&lt;/b&gt;
Having a bad day? Are you three syllables from your total breaking point? Are you in fear daily and almost hourly of losing your useless job? So you'll know there is nothing worse then msn friends or co-workers sending you usless banter and hellos all day long. Sometimes it's like some people sit watching their contact list and send "hellos" or "sup" to everyone that appears and reappears on-line. They don't say much else other then to occasionally mention they are tired, bored, hate their job, hungover, or all of thh above. Ok, my point was, that rather than popping your head like a ballon and losing all forms of hell on them. Just tel them that you're busy. Say "I'm busy.". See how easy that was, well let's work on the original a bit to make sure they understand. Say "busy". Joe's original rules for one word answers without punctuation still applies. Let's take it one step further, let's let people know that the reason you can't stop to say hello is because you have so much work, every minute of every day, that you cannot possibly send them a message, not now not later today, NEVER! Now because of the extreme conditions that exist, Joe's rule of no punctuation no longer applies. Say "SUPER BUSY! ! ! ! ! !". After using this technique for a while, you will find that if you simply reply to everyone that sends you a message with SUPER BUSY! ! ! ! ! ! that everyone in the company and even in the world that you msn, will think you spend all of your time working SUPER DUPER HARD on important company business.</description>
