disconnectedzeitgeist : Spam. Sandwiches.

Spam. Sandwiches.

I've tried it. I don't like it.

A year ago, spam accounted for just 2.3% of all e-mails, according to experts. By May this year, the figure was 55%.

I reckon I've got spam under control. It's a nuisance, sure, and I don't look on it as something that I can avoid, but it's a nuisance that I manage.

My problem, if I have one, is with genuine real e-mails. I'm currently averaging around sixty e-mails a day. If I spend just five minutes dealing with each of these, that's five hours gone from my day, and that's before I start doing any of the high powered thinky work that I am actually paid for.

Note to Mr Twinky. That could be how we describe my job in future. I do High Powered Thinky Things. And answer annoying e-mails

Mind you some of them are really easy. Like the chap who sits next to me inviting me to a meeting over lunch. Not going to happen, matey. Click, delete, gone.

Life's too short. And I'm too hungry.
