Got an e-mail inbox that's stuffed? Long since given up on spending the time necessary to delete e-mail that's been piling up for two years? For your pleasure, I present: Jesse's Mom's tips for cleaning out your e-mail.
1. Let 10,000 e-mails pile up in your inbox and sent folder.
2. Enter a blissful state of denial about the urgency of this situation. Ignore them. Go ahead, it's easy. And it feels goooood.
3. Let your e-mail software finally get so overwhelmed that it implodes, deleting all the saved e-mail.
The unofficial company record for active e-mails is 30,000, according to the man who attempted to salvage my files. So, not only am I upset over the fact that I've lost a lot of valuable information and contacts, but I'm pissed that my crash won't go down as legendary.
Total number of e-mails in my inbox this morning: 15. Only 29,985 left to go. But the really sad thing is that I actually just used a calculator to do that math. I am so tired this morning.

Let rant a minute....I'm sorry it hot outside. I'm sorry anyone would have to work in the hot. I'm sorry anyone has to work in a hot factor, but my office is like a wind tunnel (a freeing, blowing wind tunnel). I'm sitting here today actually watching a kleenix wave in the breeze on my desk. I actuall have a heater going. Go figure, I have complained about the fact that I waste engery for the facility and got nowhere. My blood pressure is up a little now, so I'm feeling warm all over and I like the feeling.

okay, why would you let your e-mails pile up? An idea would be to have your I.S. person set a limit on your e-mail. I get a warning that my email is "full". I can not send or receive until I clean out my files. Just a thought.....
