Is my boss mad at me or is he just in a weird mood?

Are They Mad At Me?

Addressing someone by their initials?

This could go in the Work, Bitch group too, but decided to post it here. I have been corresponding with someone for a few weeks, so I try to do the polite thing and give them at least a week in between follow up emails. Today the person replied by saying "Hi EB"... not "Hi Everything" and I thought this was so strange! I feel like if I did this to someone I would definitely be annoyed at them...

He's never started out an email to me with an ellipse. It's always been a comma, once in a blue moon he'll use an exclam. So...

Do you have 30 mins on Monday afternoon to catch up? Wanna talk about an idea I had.

THE ELLIPSE HAS ME PANICKED!!!! He must have chosen to start the greeting like that for a reason. It sets an ominous tone! HELP what does it meaaaan.
