This wasn't his only complaint. His suspected house contained several written complaints about his lovely copper ingots. Ea-nasir gave no shits

Ea-nasir would have gone to space with the profits of his shady copper business if that had been a possibility.

if you made 5,000 shekels a day every day since Marduk consorted with Sarpanit, you would still not be as wealthy as Ea-Nasir.

Hi Meli-Shipak,

Just circling back on the status of the irrigation project. Per my previous tablet, it seems like we're consistently running a little low on water levels for the sesame fields. Going forward, could we schedule a weekly meeting to touch base and keep everyone in the loop? Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

It's too easy to be angry nowadays. Back then you really had to put some effort into it, and through all that focus really refine it into something pure and unceasing.

People wrote like so many letters, just millions of letters, looooong letters, during the centuries you had to dip the feather you were using as a pen into an inkwell every five seconds. Also there are warehouses full of untranslated Sumerian cuneiform tablets, I assume it's the same for all those dawn-of-civ societies.

I get salty if I ever have to write stuff out longhand.

The tablets aren't stone, they're dried clay. They were written on when the clay was soft and easy to imprint, then they were at some point baked, usually when the city they were kept in burned down. No one was intending to preserve memory of Ea-nasir's lovely copper forever, it was just a lucky accident.

So would you reuse the tablets if you didn't need them anymore? Like smooth out the clay and rewrite it?

Is there some kind of ancient Sumerian sitcom plot where someone breaks into someone's house to edit an unflattering tablet they accidentally sent to someone before they can read it?

That's exactly what you'd do! And that has probably happened in ancient Sumer at some point.
