Once I started an email to a client with, "Hell Janice,".
... And then click send, and check what you just sent.
And it’s still wrong or unclear somehow.
Im in this Picture and I dont like it.
this hits deep as someone who is a compulsive checker
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.
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 could happen to anyone.
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.

Pointing and calling saves lives.
I do this too because every other word in my head is vulgar.
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 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
