AM or PM?

My friend Sasha would like to know if there is a name for:

"the feeling of sheer terror one experiences on waking from a deep sleep and having no idea if it's AM or PM and thus having no idea if you are incredibly late for work. This moment usually occurs, in my experience, if you are in the middle of a disrupted sleep schedule for some reason."

Would you like to appear in this blog? Send me your ideas! (And answer Sasha's question :)

The Near Mistake

When I get ready to send a text message, sometimes I notice that the person to whom I want to send it is immediately preceded or followed in my phone book by someone who I would absolutely NOT want to receive that message. This same danger lurks in many filing systems and of course in the common "reply" and "reply all" email option.

The way I see it, there are two terms here waiting to be named:

-The incongruities provided by some items in proximity. Even the national weather listings in the newspaper can provide this feeling. Miami and Milwaukee, anyone?

-The fear, before, during or after the fact, that your action will be done to the nearby thing and not the intended recipient. Shivers!
