I believe it has a negative connotation.

True to form, he did a sloppy job.

Dear Susie,

Thank you so much for your kind reply. It was very helpful. I discovered this website recently and I am delighted. What a wonderful idea! I work as a simultaneous interpreter for Japanese and English so I am sure I shall be asking many more questions in the future and would be grateful if you could help me in the future as well. Thank you again.

With kind regards

Yuri Yoshikuni
