Working in nonprofits for the past five years, I’ve come to appreciate that although my degree in English taught me to analyze sentences down to the bone, it did absolutely nothing to prepare me for the email avalanche that is, on most days, my job.
Gosh I related to this so very much but also felt swept away in the idea of turning emails into poetry. I am a "clear the inbox to get on with the day" kind of person which sometimes means 10am and sometimes means 7pm. I need a better system.
Oh, yes. The "If I have nothing in my inbox, my mind will be equally clear!" impulse is strong in me as well. And by impulse, I mean habit I am trying to break...because instead of feeling clearer, I feel more muddled than before; what do you mean, company I signed up for 10% off that one time, you want me to buy something ELSE?
1. Stop whoring out my cat for likes. She'll get used to the attention.
2. Thank you for reminding me to check my spam folder.
3. Now I want ice cream.
Thank you for your humour, thought, and wonderfully sidewinding style. Always a pleasure to read.
She's already used to the attention—she knows what she's worth!—and I need to keep her self-esteem at its ludicrously high levels.

"Touching base also brings outer space to my mind, which is fun: I am lost in a perpetual orbit around you, an avoidant moon." love
