One of my pet peeves (irrational, I know) is the use of read receipts in email. When given the choice, I will *always* reject them unless the email is something that clearly needs it (and there are times that they are needed).
they annoy me, but i accept them. just 'cause I read your email doesn't mean i'm going to do anything about it anytime soon :) - ~Courtney F
Wait. It's on everything the send?! Gah! Yeah, no. That's just plain annoying. They're creating an extra step for others rather than doing their job as the sender. - Kirsten loves you
dear Brain: there was no need to wake me up in the middle of the night convinced that Body has diphtheria. Body is no sicker than it was yesterday, and diptheria is so unlikely that it's near impossible.
Ooof. Sorry, LBC. I hope your brain lets you go back to sleep soon. - Stephen Mack
Yeah, I did. That was around 1:30 this morning, but it was one of those things that's so absurd that it stuck with me until it was time to get up. And since this whatever hasn't progressed beyond a sore throat that mostly manifests in the middle of the night, I guess I'm going to work today. - ellbeecee
hope you feel better soon ellbee! - Sir Shuping is just sir
After being up and down with a wicked sore throat since 3 this morning, I went ahead and made a Target run for cold drugs, tissues, etc. I'm hoping that will work to mean I don't actually get sick, but now I have stuff, just in case.
I've not progressed from feeling vaguely tired/sore throat to actual sick. So that's a plus, maybe? - ellbeecee

I went too this morning! - Stephan!e•CogSc!L!brar!an
I had to have the temporary filling (from the endodontist) popped out of the crown on the tooth that was recently root canaled and the permanent filling put in. Easy, didn't even need numbing. Root canal finally finished and my dentist said he wants our boring relationship back now please. :) - ellbeecee
taxes filed. I owe georgia $2. ok then. Federal refund that will pay off that damn credit card with the stupid high interest rate.
You go, girl - Meg VMeg

Jawbone band buzzing to wake me this morning. Dream me thought it was a phone, and I managed to hit myself in the mouth, actually waking myself, as I tried to answer it.

I got a beautiful purple piece of mail from @miriella. yay!! :)
It frustrated me more than it should have that sour cream was not in this aisle, Kroger. http://t.co/XszUef6HjJ
o_O Where was it? - LB ❤s FF, esp. YOU
is there another section with the milk, cottage cheese, and sour cream? that's how they're divided at my local Safeway. - holly #ravingfangirl
Yeah, I finally found it near the milk, Holly - which was way down at the end of the store. And the fage yogurt I wanted that was on sale was back with the organic food section, even though it's not organic. This kroger has been under renovation for about a year: they've added a big baby clothes section that takes up about 4 aisles and(which is between the aisle pictured and where the milk/sour cream ended up being. - ellbeecee
silly grocery stores. - holly #ravingfangirl
the tech support student installing updates on my machine mumbled something and left 10 minutes ago. He's not done, I know that....
do I keep waiting or use my computer? - ellbeecee
I'd use it. If student is frustrated when he comes back, gently explain that his lack of communication meant you didn't know he wasn't done. Even if not quite true, he's gotta be better at talking with people than that. - Kirsten loves you
oh, I did, and then they came back 5 minutes ago. and now they're working on it. :) he needed more help, but I got things done in the meantime - ellbeecee

Mostly funny, but the Velma bit feels totally off. I feel like she was 100% more likely to go work for NASA. - Jennifer Dittrich
The Scoobies were teenagers, so they'd be, what, 64 or so now. Gotta say, most of the folks I know in our mid-to-late 60s and 70s don't look nearly as decrepit as those drawings--either the women or the men. - walt crawford

I read this email subject so wrong. My brain went to a "Miss RUSA" contest at Midwinter and instead of a swimsuit competition would there be a cardigan and pencil-bun?
I went the exact same way - Soup in a TARDIS

Coming up in March, I'll hit 9 years smoke-free. That's great. The last two days I've been fighting terrible cravings - to the point that yesterday when I was walking into the grocery, I had to actively tell myself that I don't smoke anymore and buying cigarettes isn't default behavior. Ugh.
It's been a long time since I've been slapped like this with my nicotine addiction. Guess my brain just decided I needed the reminder for some reason. - ellbeecee
In the morning, as I watch first cup of coffee brew, I sometimes reflexively reach for my "pack of butts" Sometimes you just have to remind yourself that you don't DO that anymore. Good for you for winning that round. - WarLord
