I Have Created a Monster

Fisher's Law # 3: Email boxes are vacuums that when emptied will be refilled at a rate faster than the previous emptying.

Here it is Friday, I have a to-do list the size of the old woman in the shoe's grocery shopping list, and I have just emptied my email in-box. 422 emails not including the canned spam-ham. (My filter does a nice job of grabbing those spam things and stuffing them through the garbage disposal before they ever get to me.)

So, here I sit, Friday, what really should be a legal skip day in all 50 states, and after just having emptied the email bin on my very sexy MacBookPro (Gosh I luv that thing!) the darn email in box is filling up again at a rate that is making my head spin.  

I have created a monster & it is social networking.

Deborah~

I've noticed the very same thing! Since getting both feet wet in the social networking arena, I've been even more swamped with e-mail. The good thing is that the notifications can be turned OFF.

Deborah, I try to clean out all my emails once a week. That lasts for about two weeks and then I get lazy and read them but don't file them or delete them. Next thing I know I have well over a thousand of them. I'm working tomorrow just to do what you did today. Clean out my email.

I don't get as many as you do.  I don't know if that's good or bad.

Rick, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. At least that's what my mother said. 

I suggest that you grab a jumbo cuppa joe, find a comfy chair at your favorite coffee house and have at it. Remember, the delete key is your best friend.

Julie, just like ex-husbands looking for their alimony check.

John, may I borrow your email address?

Deborah, I have one sn site set to feed to a particular email address another sn site set to a 2nd email address. Whichever social networking site that I been active most recently makes just the task a deleting the emails a chore.

I haven't heard that song in a while. Enjoyed that.

Hi Deborah - I loved the video. I used to set up notifiers for blogs I commented on but I quit doing that; my "in box" was getting rather full. Instead I will visit the posts I've commented on to look at some of the other comments that have been posted. It makes AR a bit easier to deal with and saves some time. Did I say I loved that video?
