communication overload
i finally got around to cleaning up my email yesterday and deleted over 5700 emails in my INBOX. i still have over 4500 left, if i need to see what somebody wrote me.
next i'll have to tackle the 9700 left in my SENT box.
as much as i love to talk, i cannot imagine i said anything important enough that i have to keep it 9700 times. the sad part is, i emptied these boxes earlier this year, so they are just crazy rampant.
and no, these don't include spam, which have a separate box and i empty 100-150 emails a day.
no WONDER when the weekend comes, i just want to shut off the world and make aprons. what did we ever do BEFORE we had email? did we just talk to people? 9700 times in LESS than a year? funny, i don't remember doing that.
anyway, it reminds me that i better go clear out my voicemail system too.

Divesting at its purest! Next time let me know, I'll send the hubby over.
Found out this weekend that he had the whole canning set-up, courtesy of his ma, and got rid of it the year we got married. Grr.
I didn't know you could actually keep that many emails...
Good to know. Don't you feel so light and airy? :-) I always feel like there is an extra bounce in my step after getting rid of lots of stuff.
