Sending attachments puckers my butthole. So many times there has been horny right next to what I need. I freeze and don't touch anything, make the next move very slow and sure. It's important not to fall into target fixation though.

It would help if I just named everything that well. Everything on my pc is just a random mishmash of numbers and letters, or some naming scheme I came up with and can't remember how to decipher.

Yup. But on the upside I also never messed up a dd command. So there is that.

And yet you still forget the attachment because you spent too long proofreading the email.

Mechaguana@programming.dev · 10 pts · 2y

I actually sent the opposite of a motivation letter and got into pretty hot water because I didn't proof read the sent document.

Boy did I get into hot waters that week

One problem I used to have was using the wrong email address to send work-related stuff. Now, work stuff lives in outlook and my personal stuff lives in whatever non-outlook email client doesn't suck.

This is not to say outlook is great—i fucking hate it.

I do this too because every other word in my head is vulgar.
