I had to go into my e-mail account on Friday to find someone's phone number (I need to start an offline address book. lol). As a result, I started reading a few other e-mails as well. Time spent: no longer than 5-10 min. I was really conscious of time though and wanted to get off quickly (I didn't reply to any of them - figured that they can wait until Tuesday night). I ended up getting p'd off about one of the e-mails. I was so mad during dinner with my parents (it was my dad's birthday too!) that I unconciously started to reach for fish (see my Vegetarian/Vegan/Raw food experiment post). I began to feel bad about my foul mood. I told my dad what had occurred and apologized. We talked about it, and my foul mood started to disappear - slowly. Next day I decided to shoot a quick, short reply to the e-mail message in question (let's just say that my reply would have made a difference to the people involved). Then I logged off.

I posted the above to show how a message could linger in your mind even after getting out of your account.

Other than my minor transgression, I've been contacting people using my phone.
