I miss Canada Post

Frig! I am behind with the mail, not canada post mail, email. Remember the days when the only mail was paper? And was delivered to your mailbox outside your house once a day? Now it comes all the time and all times of the day and night. It doesn't care that you are on holidays, it always find you. So here was the problem, I have neglected my inbox. Only choosing the emails that I wanted to look at for the last 20 days. All of a sudden tonight around 8:00 I got that feeling, you know that dull pain in your stomach that says you are missing something. Something important, a time bomb wrapped up in all those unanswered and ignored emails. So there I began with the 228 messages ready to face my consequences. The thing about 228 messages is that 100 of them are online advertising, easily deleted. Who has time to look at those ads? Then the reply all, email feed. Reply all is not a button everyone should have on their computers. It is always the same culprits, not all information needs to be shared, out went another bunch. Now comes the tough emails. The ones that need a response, the ones that require work and attention. I have now created an entire Monday of phone calls, follow ups and apologizes. This is precisely the reason why I have been ignoring them. I really miss the paper mail, there was something fulfilling about putting it into the shredder when I was done. Maybe I just need a fantastic sound effect, like roaring lion, or a bull dozer. Just added another thing on my monday to do.
