    I'm actually still getting over a fear of submitting stuff without practically triple-checking it, brought on by a past job where our team managers would scrutinize things to the point of absurdity. We were constantly having to validate things we said, justify our stance, consider pros and cons, often of the stupidest things.

    So I still get nervous about sending stuff off. I find that I have to re-read emails multiple times before sending to make sure the point is clear, that there are no mistakes, etc.

    • this is good, actually. I wouldn't call it fear, it sounds pretty thoughtful to meGnash
    • I wish everyone read their emails three times before they sent them.doggydoggdog
