How does 'fine' feel?

A nine box grid showing you how to Email like a Boss. Each box starts with a situation followed by what you might say in that situation and what you could say instead. Box1: I took a while but you can deal. No: Sorry for the delay. Yes: Thanks for your patience. Box 2: My schedule matters too. No: What works best for you. Yes: Could you do (suggest a time)? Box 3: Yeah you're welcome. No: No problem/no worries! Yes: Always happy to help! Box 4: I know what I'm doing. No: I think maybe we should ... Yes: It'd be best if we ...
