Hotmail hates me. Last night I spent about a half an hour writing an email to Buffalo Bill. Long story, but the short version is I had an Excel file full of information he needed and he doesn't have Excel and he didn't need everything in the file anyway so I just wrote up what he needed. I wanted to go to bed but I'd promised him I'd have it to him yesterday. Designated Hitter was being his eternally helpful self [/sarcasm] and kept going on about how "well you should be able to imbed the Excel sheet into an email, I mean you can in Outlook" and I had to repeatedly remind him that I'm still using Hotmail (don't judge me. well, I mean people who aren't Best Friend shouldn't judge me. people who use grown-up email systems, and who aren't reading my blog. wait, umm, moving on) Then this morning I wake up, log into my email, and Hotmail went and added the ability to imbed Excel into emails! 8 fucking hours after I needed it!
But that isn't really why I'm making this post.
Here's a little background - I
hate clutter. Hate it. Designated Hitter is a packrat, and this issue has been a big problem for us for a long time.
However, I have one place where I am apparently also a clutterhound. My email inbox. I currently have over 5000 emails in my inbox. I think I need an intervention.
I'm sorting and deleting. Mostly deleting, but there are some things I wanted to save (hence the reason I'd kept EVERYTHING. cuz I'm smart like that) I am making new inbox folders.
These make so much more sense to me than the "normal" approach I'd taken 10 years ago... and never used. However this emergency sort-and-file could take months. I need beer.
