A bit of Grrr! I'd say that would cause a lot of Grrr.
Ugh, I know that one Gud. E-mail is tricky that way.

Crap I sent an E-mail to my wife. I didn't think there could be a negative interpretation of it, but now I'm worried there might be one I hadn't thought of. However, following up will probably be interpreted as me thinking she's oversensitive. Now I'll need to e-mail on an unrelated matter and try to interpolate from the response how the first E-mail was taken. Of course if I don't get a response I don't know if that is because she's upset about the first e-mail or is just AFK. Hopefully, this is a needless concern.

I'm telling myself that, if the results had been bad, they would have been motivated to call me themselves.

I think some things are just universal to relationships.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Despite coming in at 9:00, I am done for the day and get to go home....

Good luck ita!
Getting to work before 8:30 is not appreciably making me get any more done. Of course, spending 8:30 to 10:30 in back to back meetings might explain that. Tuesday looks to be more of the same.

My supervisors are being baffled by my lack of ambition. I'm 2nd in productivity after some alien cyborg guy, but my quality is just a few points from what they want before they promote me to more responsibility. But more responsibility is not what I want. Responsibility equals stress, which may not be countered by whatever raise they may think of giving me. I like coming in, doing my job, and going home.
I also have the option of dealing with customers over the phone and over chat. I prefer chat, because I hate talking to people on the phone, especially when they're annoyed. But I'm good at phone work. My supervisor said, "I've heard you on the phone, you're one of the best." Me: "You can be good at things that you hate to do." He looked utterly baffled by that. But then, he's often utterly baffled.

Unrelated E-mail tactic has been successful, negative interpretation not made. No contingency plan needed.
