The joys of email

I love email. I love the Internet.

That said, I wonder what it was like working before it all existed?

Today was an average day.
- 63 emails sent
- 76 emails received
- 65 emails flagged and waiting for me to take action

(I'm sure many of you could post similar/higher email stats...)

I wonder how much time the average professional spends each day emailing? Does it really help or hinder?

Wonders of Wireless

I'm currently sitting in my class. Online.

This is a whole new educational experience for me. Not once at WMU did I peruse the Internet whilst in class.

As a professor, I'm pretty sure I'd hate the students who bring in laptops. Yup. I'd say only half are actually paying attention and taking notes.

In related Internet news... I'm pretty sure I'm quite addicted to being online. I. Really. Must. Show. More. Restraint....

Technological Kinks

I love email. I really can't imagine life without it.

Today, though, I wanted nothing more to do with email. With technology. With anything of the sort. Ever. Again.

Why you ask? Well, when I got to work today, I realized, by the plethora of spiteful, angry emails that the email I had sent to 7,500 people yesterday was STILL being sent.

Yes. Some people received the same email 1 time. Some 5 times. Some up to 12 stinkin' times!

We found out that it was apparently a server issue. This realization, however, did not make the day any easier.

I spent my day replying apologetically to angry, pissed off alumni.

Errrr.
