i have 7898 messages in my inbox at work

[LSK]

Is that a lot?

[LaurenG]

1. yes LSK that is a lot

in fact if it were me I'd probably just delete them all and start over.

[Catch22Dem]

2. Why on EARTH???

Your mail admins must hate you!

[LSK]

4. i've worked here since 1999

[Catch22Dem]

20. Same year I started at my company

I have 8 messages in mine. I delete what I no longer need and archive what I do.

[bigwillq]

3. How many of those

are important and how many are just BS????

That's a lot.

5. More than most

Backed up a work colleague's 1.5 gig inbox to a DVD a couple of weeks ago. Our mail admins gave up trying to enforce limits on inbox size long ago. Now they just add more storage and servers.

:rofl:

6. Our mail admins freak when we have over 1000

I have about 2000 now.

7. The solution is obvious

You need more inboxes.

[huskerlaw]

8. there's this little button called

delete...you might want to give that a try. ;)

9. I get about 50 a day.... 100 when it's busy

BUT I clean it up often and archive. I could easily get that many if I didn't watch it.

[GOPisEvil]

10. 50 a day?!?!?

:wow::wtf:

[nini]

11. Hey.. I'm the glue of the organization!!

:D

[GOPisEvil]

12. If I leave my desk, come back and there's no little red light, I'm happy!

I hate answering the phone. Dammit, I'm busy, and I can't lose my train of thought. :P

[nini]

13. ZW is buried right now too

He had to go meet someone today and it took him forever on the freeways and in the rain - He's got too much to do to be away from the desk too long. I'm sure he'll be happy to tell you this later :D


One good thing about my job is I don't have to deal with customers too much - well, I have to handle the pissed off ones that insist on talking to a supervisor, but they normally don't treat me bad like they do the regular reps. I hate dealing with the public.

[GOPisEvil]

14. I rarely deal with the general public either.

Most of my work is with other insurance companies or manufacturers. I deal with our customers from time to time, but I'm trying to get their money back, so they like me. :D

[nini]

15. oh.. that's right

but still.. who wants to talk to anyone?!?! We should be posting on DU. :-)


when are you moving to So Cal? :P

[GOPisEvil]

16. I wish I could post on DU sometimes.

Two reasons I can't:
1. Too damn busy
2. 3-foot cubicle walls, and my monitor faces the boss. :P

Moving to SoCal? We'll see if the company likes me first - if I want to move, it's pretty easy.

[nini]

17. yuk.. I'm no where near my boss. thankfully

That sucks.

I hope it works out for you. I know both of you guys are working your butts off but it'll sure pay off down the line.

[GOPisEvil]

18. Oh, I think there is definitely a payoff for working hard.

That's what I'm hoping for. I'll get licensed and everything and I'll be mobile, if I wanna be.

[nini]

19. ZW will be proud of our threadjacking here

:-)

It's a good move on your part. Lots of possibilities and options.

[GOPisEvil]

21. Let the threadjacking continue!

:bounce:

[LSK]

22. theadjackers

:popcorn:

[GOPisEvil]

23. Yep

[Zomby Woof]

24. I am very proud of you

Of course, I taught nini the very best in threadjacking techniques. :P

[beyurslf]

25. Just delete all and start over :)

[kwassa]

26. but, did you read mine?

[TrogL]

27. About typical for me

I'm on waaaaaaay too many mailing lists.
