Last night i opened up a new email and started reading. When i reached the last line, i realized it was one of those casually forwarded messages from work. Had this happened during the week, i would've sensed it, simply from the tone of the email at the first few lines. But i didn't.
Perhaps my Power Save Mode was on. Recently i noticed two things in particular that recede into Power Save Mode: the printer at work and Sam's new cell phone. In either case, the backlight is completely off. The printer is even funnier, since it says "Powersave" on the tiny, dimmed screen. When i walk by, i have an urge to make a face at it and whisper "alright, i know".
Thus, here is how i interpret the incident. On the weekend, the work section of my brain very likely slows down. It takes something (a date, a command, etc) to trigger and push the "Wake Up" button.
