Move Over Drunk Dialer
Move over drunk dialer, there’s a new breed in town…
I always knew not to “drink and write.” I never knew that “drinking and editing” after two glasses of wine would lead to “that uneasy feeling I had the morning after.”
After writing a post (which I painstakingly put together specifically not to upset anyone), I did the unthinkable… The DR-ED-IT. I became a “DR-EDITOR.”
Not only did I review the post for mistakes after the consumption of two glasses of wine, I added a paragraph filled with the exact information “I deliberately omitted.” Just before my post was about to be automatically published to my social networks and pushed by RSS to my readers, I awoke.
That Uneasy Feeling. Thank God For Alarm Clocks, had mine not gone off at just the right time, I would have unleashed the fury in my post to the masses.
My first thought… ”why do I feel like I did something I shouldn’t have last night?”
My second thought… ”probably because I did.”
My third… FORGET THE THOUGHT… At that very moment, I knew I had seconds to fix what I had done!
Immediately, I logged on my website using my cell phone. Without putting my glasses on, I began furiously pressing the delete key until all evidence of my aggravation was gone! I quickly updated my post and took a deep breath…
Note to self: Do Not Drink And Write… But If You Must, Make Sure You Do Not Drink And Edit.
