I just saw the subject line of an email from the company I do law work for. I was furloughed from my last assignment with them a few months ago and haven't done a stroke of legal work since. But I'm still on their distribution list, so I get the same mass email everyone else does.
My eyes grazed the screen: "Please Read: Playdate Change!"
Why is my law firm sending me email about playdates? I wondered. Then I realized that it actually said "paydate change."
Just goes to show that our context can really skew our perceptions. I think I understand a little more about Sonia Sotomayor.
