At breakfast the other day I was bragging to a friend that I'd received a nice compliment from a business associate: he said I was always incredibly prompt at responding to emails, even if I just send a confirmation that the email has been received.
Then I got home and found an email from my friend Amy: she "just wanted to check" if I had received the email she'd sent the previous week about RSVPing to a social event. I had received it. I hadn't replied.
I thanked her for shrinking my ego back to a more appropriate size.
