+I recently came back from a winter break and have started working
+again... only to immediately run into the dilemma of people sending me
+cliffhanger messages again.
+
+# No Hello
+
+A year or two ago, I discovered [no hello](https://nohello.net/en/) and
+have thought about it often since then. I\'ve even sent it to a few
+people since then (who wouldn\'t take offense to it).
+
+I work in a fast-paced environment where efficiency is extremely
+valuable. Therefore, I have always held a deep displeasure for
+conversations where people start with \"Hello\" and then.
+
+I searched back through my work messages and found that I received \~50
+messages from \~10 people last year from people that contained \"hi\",
+\"hey\", or \"hello\" and did not contain any indication of the purpose
+of the conversation. I also noticed that a few of the users were
+responsible for the large majority of the cliffhangers.
+
+There\'s no real point to this post, just a desparate request for people
+to please stop doing this.
