On the (very cold) ride into work this morning I realized my mistake. I did not mean to say that being cute needs to go away. If you want to have a teddybear on your desk called Mr. Snuggles, that doesn't bother me in the least. What bothers me is cutesy labels like what we're talking about here. They're so commonly used in a manipulative manner that I have trouble seeing them as anything other than scary. I don't like them for when people watch TV or listen to music or use a programming language. And I despise them when companies try to act like there's a strong bond between employees by breaking them out. Very, very creepy. Please don't contribute to that. That's all I wanted to convey.
