Email while sleeping

RantWoman's main email, the one on all her business cards is most foully dyspeptic this morning. Usually this is just a transient condition, and RantWoman could not care less about the propeller head details of the dyspepsia du jour: Rant Woman just needs to send OUT some email, and the email provider refuses to produce the required email body field.

One reason RantWoman needs to send out email is that last night she had an attack of sleep email--on a work-related matter no less. RantWoman sometimes pounds away at her email late at night. RantWoman's body has fairly fixed ideas about when RantWoman should just become horizontal because sleep will shortly occur one way or another. RantWoman was working on one of her brilliantly insightful but still in need of sarcasm filter masterpieces and she THOUGHT she had hit the button to Save Draft rather than Send. RantWoman was WRONG, as she discovered sheepishly when she finally woke up enough to go to bed.

Let's just say sleep email is not nearly as lethal as drunk email or email while alone on shift at long-ago computer lab gig while sarcasm filter is severely malfunctioning. Sleep email is embarrassing and impolitic and RantWoman did have to send a very obsequious note promising not to try to fix the problem while prone to falling back asleep. Now of course would be a good time to fix the problem, but RantWoman's email is dyspeptic.

RantWoman could call her correspondent. She could take to heart his comments about email being forever and use the phone. Well, email is forever but RantWoman's brain is not: writing things down even in email, even in all of email's possible stark misconstructions, misperceptions, miscommunications is a huge helpfor the perpetual brainstorm in RantWoman's head.

Plus in terms of immortality, RantWoman could be trading arms for hostages and using the proceeds to finance Latin American (cough, cough). Or she could be subverting the Constitution from an undisclosed location. Or she could be trying to make insightful contributions to a very worthwhile project. Choose Option C and just live with email, but STAY AWAKE.
