I’m pretty sure I’ve listed some fake computer related disease on here before.  If not then I’m sure you will hear one.  Writing an email back to someone is quite fun, unless you have absolutely nothing to say.  Then its kind of awkward, and awkward emails are well… awkward.   Lately, I’ve suffered from what I call EOS, which stands for Email Overwrite Syndrome.  It’s the exact opposite of having nothing to say: writing a whole short story in an email, and ending with:

“I’ll get back to you on that.”

I could piece my emails together and get a short epic novel.  (Maybe I should do that.) Anyway, here’s my short guide to diagnosing and treating EOS.

Symptoms

• When you say you’re going to write an email, everyone else sits down to watch TV.
• You can’t explain why the letters on your keyboard have rubbed off.
• Your friends have found it faster to drive to your house than to email you.
• You write an email containing the phrase “lalala” in it at least 3 times.
• Every email you write contains Re: in the subject.

Those are just a few of the EOS symptoms I can say on here.  After reading those you may think, “Oh my goodness!  How do I get rid of EOS?” Well, here’s my list of short cures.

Cures For EOS

• Type with your forehead in violent motions.  In this manner, you will become unconscious after the first sentence.
• Watch a TV show in slow motion.  This will help slow down your preception of time, thus you will die before the second paragraph.
• Yell every letter as your type it.
• Finally, get a job writing for a tech website and cut your email rambles into your blogs posts on there.
