  • I have narcolepsy so it’d happen uncontrollably, usually when sitting still without talking or moving. Like in a large meeting or presentation where I don’t have an active part to play. Sometimes a sympathetic colleague would nudge me awake. Somewhat career limiting but I was stuck with it for 30 years. I started on medication a year ago and it has been much improved.

    Yes, I write more than twice the work emails than I send. I spend 15 minutes on slack composing a reasoned response with examples and references then edit it down to one sentence. Because I know from bitter experience noone reads long form, at least, not for work. They’d rather spend weeks back and forth on one liners with days in between responses, or only when prompted, than answer one email properly and the whole thjng sorted in a day. Even this is too long. But I’m going to hit submit before the urge to edit overhwlems me.
