If only there was something for actual talking… would be great to muzzle myself when I am angry at wifey! LOL!

I have on one occasion written a letter when I was ready to blow the fuse, thankfully, I didnt have the postage to send it immediately(yep, I am old and have had the luxury of email only in the past decade). I had to wait till the next morning but by then I had cooled off and realized it was a waste of my time and money to send it anyway. Lesson learned, I made it a ground rule to not answer mail when I am emotional.

so funny that you wrote this today! I actually just got “in trouble” because I wrote a sentence with an * at the beginning from my boss. I was told that it was rude! I apparently need all the email advice there is! Have a great Thursday!

I’ve sent my fair share of emails that I wished I could take back. I’m one of those who often speaks or acts before I truly think about it and then after I really think about it I regret it. I think my rule would be to take an hour or even day before replying to an email.

I just write the first email then save it as a draft. After an hour or two, I delete the draft and write a new one! At least I feel better by venting through the first draft! Thank God for the delete button!

@gitz LOL! I just panicked thinking maybe somebody asked me that question. Had no idea it would be you. For the record, I wasn’t drunk…because I wasn’t drunk; not because I simply want a clean record.
