Our fingers--they are so impulsive!<BR/><BR/>A couple of seconds after I've written something, I can't believe I wrote a particular line. It always comes out so much more direct and harsh than I feel a minute or two later and I often delete half of what I wrote.<BR/><BR/>Of course this also happens when I open my mouth. The people I work with are used to me by now, apologizing and teaching them what not to do as much as what to do.<BR/><BR/>What a terrible experience; you have my heartfelt sympathy. And I loved your line, "a conscience makes the deepest cut of all."

There have been a number of times that I've whipped off an email in the impulse of the moment and then spent hours dripping in sweat and regret waiting for the fresh hell that my correspondance would set off. I've learned to be much more careful with the email thing and the blog post thing. I think that you probably grew as a result of this ... but why do lessons have to be so painful?Dave Hingsburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918601687946534172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-27885533167900545342008-01-18T21:59:00.000-08:002008-01-18T21:59:00.000-08:00Ouch.
