The 3 AM rant I almost posted, glad I waited
Last Tuesday I was furious about a coworker taking credit for my report. I typed out this whole angry post at like 3 in the morning, all caps and everything. Before hitting send I decided to sleep on it, just one night. Next morning I reread it and realized I'd left out half the context, made myself look petty. I rewrote it calmer and more specific, got way better responses, and the coworker even apologized after seeing my side. Anyone else have posts that needed a 24 hour cool down before they made sense?

Did you save the angry draft somewhere to look back at later? I started doing that after a blowup with my sister where I said stuff I couldn't take back, and now I just let the rough version sit in my notes overnight. Reading it the next day usually shows me what I actually meant to say, which is almost never what I first typed.
