Shannon Stock: Down
Today, Melissa was snuggling next to me on our bed. Since we are snowed in, we've both been trying to get ahead in our classes. I was working on Satan's Science (a.k.a. math) and my lovely wife was working on something computery a few inches away from me. .I finished my assignment and opened my inbox to check my e-mail. I mentioned to Melissa that my sister had left a note for me on Facebook to call her. She said, "Well, give her a call right now and see if everything is okay." I glanced at my phone and then at my inbox. I had 23 messages. "Okay, I'll call her in a second. I need to get my inbox down to 20 messages before I can call her." She stared at me. "I like to have my inbox end in a 5 or a 0. Like 5, 10, 15, 20..."..She stared at me.."What? It helps me keep my inbox cleared out because I have motivation to delete things instead of letting them stack up. Each time I open my mail, I can't close it unless I get rid of enough to make it end in a 5 or a 0."."Why did you just tell me that?" she asked, laughing. I could tell that I had revealed something about myself that may have lowered my stock in her mind. Hopefully, she'll reflect further on it and decide it's adorably cute. Hopefully...
