Note to self...
This is a small moment from my life I thought I should quickly share. When you are in an email conversation and the other person pisses you off, don't write a response based on your emotional reaction. If you do write a "reactive" response however and decide it sounds too spiteful, make sure you delete the original bitchy response before you send the nicer version. I made the mistake of sending both to Jeff yesterday. I conveyed some strong emotions and his response was so kind. "I like the first draft better...more punchy". Thanks Jeff. You always know the right thing to say.

classic. nice one grandma.
language, sarah! "piss" and "bitch" in one little paragraph...
i want to know what the two of you were talking about that created such an "emotional" and "punchy" response.
I am trying to think if there is anything we talk about that doesn't create an emotional and punchy response. Normally, Jeff is the one that is punchy and I have to continually say to myself "Sarah, he just needs you to listen right now. It's not you, it's him". Oh wait. Actually maybe its the other way. I always seem to get it confused.
This is totally inappropriate and probably based in the fact that I've recently returned from vacation and have a new kitten that keeps us up at night. I made myself laugh almost to the point of tears ... again, probably due to fatigue, but ...
Based on Sarah's post and Mikey's comment, I'd like to coin a new derogatory term: "pissbitch". It just rolls off the tongue and wraps so much into one word. A common usage might sound like this: "Jeffer, I'm sorry I was such a pissbitch the other day. Please forgive me." Or "Call me a pissbitch, but I can't stand it when people hit 'reply to all' in an email just meant for one person."
Sorry.
