i read your email

a statement of fact that can be truthfully spoken by any systems operator with root access.

BOFH: "I go back to the mail now, as something's bound to have happened. I do a grep on all mail files for the words "pregnant" and "family way", and post them anonymously to the local general interest newsgroup."

"I'm feeling a little out of touch with the current office politics, so I
grep the corporate email files for the words "body" and "love", then post
the juicier bits to rec.arts.erotica under "Seen on the nets"."

I hope this email finds you well

An example of the perils of virtual working during COVID. When you're on your death bed and your employer emails you to see if you've met your deadline yet

"I hope this email finds you well. I know you're busy dying and all, but did you have a chance to finish that presentation?"

I am not receiving emails from you

What one urbandictionary.com contributor is asking the staff here.

This urbandictionary.com contributor is asking why “ I am not receiving emails from you, urbandictionary.com, for months ?”

I’ll submit new words and get no feedback.

Please help, thank you.

Sender Paralysis (via IM / Email or Text)

Those several moments of temporary paralysis just after you realize you just sent the filthiest joke / dirtiest pictures / inappropriate comment / via any electronic method, to the one person you would never want to.

Example A:

You: Looking at "Hot Bubbles.wmv" "That's hilarious, I'll send that to Bob"

*Click*

You sit there with your mouth open realizing you just sent it to Bob your BOSS, not your cool friend Bob.

You're screwed. You are a victim of Sender Paralysis (via IM / Email or Text). You can't move or speak.

Example B:

You: "Hi Mom yeah we had great weekend at the beach; I'll send some pictures, luv ya, bye."

You scroll through your phone and select a few shots and....
*Click*
you realize you just sent a picture of yourself pleasing your boyfriend on the ride home while while he's driving.

The look on your face frozen in terror is Sender Paralysis.

Usually subsides after a week of shame and humiliation. Take two laughing coworkers, a healthy dose of guilt from your Mom and call your shrink.
