Also dealt with my email.

[conuly]

When I was having my little, uh, break, that meant I wasn't mostly checking my usual email because nearly everything that comes in there - stuff that I both want and actually intend to read, unlike store receipts and spam and reminders of sales from stores I do shop at but am not going to shop at today - is news aggregations. And the ultimate destiny of all those links is to end up here, and long story short, after two weeks I was edging on a thousand emails to clear out. Which I did, in the space of one long marathon of ruthless deletions. But I also skimmed a lot of them to catch up on the news and in case there were links I wanted to read in full.

I should feel more accomplished and less silly.

Holy shit, that's a gigantic accomplishment though! Go you!

That's really impressive! Nicely done!

Dealing with email is a neverending task, and it only accumulates left on its own. Yeah, it doesn't feel very accomplished, but it's still a thing you did.

No to mention dealing with NEWS... It's fine not to know of everything that's going on. :)

I'm glad you're feeling less overwhelmed and able to tackle that. I hadn't quite realized how much I enjoyed your lists!

Can you do my email inboxes next? :-P

I probably won't manage to come up for air and clear them out until the spring semester is over, whew.

Thank you! I always look forward to these posts of yours and deeply appreciate them.

“I should feel more accomplished and less silly.”

Hey, there’s *nothing* wrong with feeling silly, particularly while dealing with the ultra-silly accumulation of spam!!

But, good for you for cutting down the flow of that sh!t!!
