May cause drowsiness
I send myself email.
I also leave myself voice mail messages.
I know it's only a few steps from mumbling incoherently to myself while shuffling down the street, but I'm sure you do too if only you would let down your cool guard for two seconds to admit it.
Anyway.
I sent an email from my Evening Home Self last night to my Morning Work Self with a big fat reminder to pay a specific bill:
From: valette@rhapsodic.orgIt worked great and the bill got paid.
Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 10:10 PM
To: Valette Work
Subject: Pay that bill, girlie!My God, you're lazy.
But my Morning Work Self, still half asleep as she usually is before ten, read that subject line as though my mother was speaking it.
And then spent a good ten minutes wondering how my mom knew I needed to pay a bill and why she called me lazy. It just isn't like her. Her emails are very sweet and usually end with a big fat 'I love you' and 500 exclamation points.
Which is all to say that not only is my Morning Work Self lazy, but she's pretty confused and needs to not operate heavy machinery like email.

i just paperclip sticky notes to my backpack and purse, because who knows when i'll be online next and i would forget to check my voicemail.
Is the "no thinking before 11am" concept a new one to you?? I knew that about you years ago...
