To always think "Oh fuck, what have I done now?"

[WorraLiberty]

When I look at the top of the page and my inbox has a little glowing envelope?

I only ever really PM 2 people (who I knew before joining MN) and I've only ever had nice PMs from other posters.

So why when I see it light up, do I always get that funny little feeling?

You know like when the phone rings after 9pm or there's a knock at the door at an odd time of the day/night?

Am I alone in this?

No

It's like being at school and just waiting for that call to the Head's office. You know it's coming, you just don't know when!

I get that feeling when my manager says "I just need to ask you something"

That's the one Madge

I get it when my fb inbox flashes 'one new message'

Or a text from an unknown number

God we must all have guilty consciences

I feel like that when dh uses my firstname.

I get this when the door knocks unexpectedly. and sometimes I hide and pretend Im not in

But apart from that not really. I must be a goody two shoes.

As a teenager I used to imagine my parents being told what I had got up to when out. I used to approach home with a mixture of dread and excuses.

Yes, guilty consciences abound.

Oh God Yama I can identify with all of that...even the first name thing!

Tee hee! :o

We have caller display on the phones at work and there is a group of people I have regular contact with. But if I get a call from an unknown name or number it does always make me feel a bit guilty - without even knowing what it's about.

umm, I have just realised that there is a message icon at the top of the page next to inbox (note to self, look at other parts of site other than active....)

Milk

steppemum I think I've just broken your inbox virginity

Was it good for you?

Maybe... I am usually excited that ANYONE would have the time for me.

SecretNutellaFix - you are so right back when I had a manager. For me though it would be 'Can I have a quick chat with you ?' whilst gesturing to a meeting room - ie. out of the open plan because it's unprofessional to bollock you within 'the space'.

I' never get pms

Worra :o

cogito don't say that in front of Milk or she'll jump up in your inbox and scare the crap out of you

I've been forced to open a bottle of wine to get over the shock....

I have has a few, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

I do too but I had a nice one last night after I'd had a big tanty on a silly thread. So tis not all doom!

I've had some lovely PMs from people I've never really spoken to or don't recognise.

I've never had PM

Just clicked my inbox

No one loves me :(

I get excited with fb messages/post/ managers requests to "have a word"

Am angelic obviously, and nothing to do with an overinflated ego thinking I can do no wrong, oh no not me

I do too, despite never really going off on one on a thread :)
Exactly the same feeling as 'Can I have a word at school' or 'I need to talk to you about something' at work

Nobody loves me either softly which surprises me because I can be a bitch
