I'm always nervous when I see a new email from my boss, or one of my professors. I just automatically find myself on edge trying to anticipate what I could have done wrong to warrant such dire retribution as a potentially nasty email. Most of the time they're just benign reminders or questions, but until I open them, I have no way of knowing. I think I"m going to have to start using the term "Schrödinger's email."
Well, with my new job, I've been sending out a lot of informational emails to an employee mailing list from my boss's email account. I know it's irrational, but when I see those emails later in my inbox—the ones I sent MYSELF—I still have that moment of panic.
Pshh. I'm such a pansy.

Fun fact: Schrodinger jokes must be considered to be simultaneously funny and unfunny until they are told.
