I drunk dial, text, email, etc. Basically, when over-served, I should just be isolated to a room with a bed and, if I have behaved myself, maybe a television. I like late night infomercials. And now, by late night, I mean like 1:00 AM. A gal’s got to get her beauty sleep. Otherwise, I am a down right terror.
Personally, I feel as though texting and phone calls while inebriated can be acceptable. Unless you are like I am and tend to get just a wee bit on the inappropriate side.
Regardless, it is so easy to shrug off. The mobile phone is just so readily available! Hell, you can even go as far as to blame them on someone else (as long as you don’t leave a message or give away tell-tale details). Usually, I have to admit guilt. But emails are a whole different ball game. You have to go to a computer, sign-in and pick out who your victims will be.
As I mentioned before, when I lost my iphone in a cab one night and when I couldn’t find the mobile phone, I went immediately to the computer. There was a land line, but I was a woman on a mission. I had to try and get a hold of those randomly selected individuals at 3:30 AM on a Saturday.
Had Mail Goggles, a new lab feature google is launching, been available I could have saved myself from sending a mass email to friends (some new friends at the time) informing them that they could call me on my land line (which I failed to remember at the time I was sending said email) in case of emergency. I signed it “I love you all.” So creepy.
You indicate what times you would like this feature to activate and then you don’t have to think about it. According to the Official Gmail Blog, the default time is between 10:00 PM and 4:00 AM on Fridays and Saturdays.
As my friend Liz pointed out, one would have to answer a few questions asked by Mail Goggles before they allowed you to officially send your email. However, I looked and they are mathematical questions. I don’t care how drunk I am, math has never been my strong suit.
Now, if only they could figure out something like that for my text messages….
