All you need is...

Have you ever accidentally said "Love you!" at the end of a business call? I've absent-mindedly done it a handful of times in my life and it's mortifying, even though it really should just be something humorous to laugh about.

It just now happened to a vendor who I was ordering supplies from on the phone. The conversation ended with me saying "Okay, thanks much!" and her saying "Okay, love you!" Then a brief awkward silence before she hung right up. I could just feel the ohmygod waves through the phone.

But, I guess it's nice to know that when that happens, it means the person has someone(s) in their life who they say "I love you" to often enough that it's become second nature.

I don’t think I’ve ever done that on the phone, but I think that’s just because I try to avoid using the phone as much as possible, except with people I actually do love. :-) But I wouldn't be surprised if the occasional “Love and hugs,” has slipped through at the bottom of work-related email; it’s something I’m constantly catching myself almost doing.

Saying “I love you” to you is still special for me, though. :-)

*Smooches!*

Hee, that would be fun to receive a work e-mail with "love and hugs" at the end. Especially from you. :-)

Love you!

Yes email is more where I need to watch for a slip up.

It helps to have a signature on the work email so I don't put the wrong salutation or a nickname for myself.

Wait! I want to know what nickname you are referring to?

No I do not sign my LJ name :P
