Email is slowly changing the way I be..

Because I type fast(ish) and without too much thought, and because I end all my emails with "thanks", and because I send ALOT of email, I find myself now when I end a face-to-face conversation with someone I say 'thanks'... which isn't in itself a bad thing... but it's always in response to some sort of farewell.

for example (this just happened with a work acquaintance)..

me
yada yada yada

other dood
yup,.. mmmhmm.. yup,.. ok, see ya later.

me
ya, ok,.. thanks. .. (flustered) .. ah.. i mean, bye...

(d'oh!)

I close my eyes, lower my chin and slowly shake my head as I type this.....
