I get busy just lying in my bed strolling through the Internet doing stuff and I don't tend to my e-mails. I check on how many new ones populate my inbox, though, and it's always growing like Eurasian Watermilfoil. It used to stress me out; not anymore. I've let it go for a few days and it'd reach a hundred. Recently I've left it alone for a workweek and it'd get up to 200.
But it is politics season and I'm (sort-of) woke, so most of the messages are now appeals from campaigns to donate money. (Used to be that the majority of these e-mails were from job sites and The Guardian. The latter its newsletters I've de-subscribed from ever since they've demanded I create an account; the former may have gone down since I also de-subscribed from them too, but the wave of political e-mails may distort that perception.) And so I've left pruning my e-mail alone until, well, now, when I have time to putz around the house and do other chores beyond checking my mail.
Again, I've checked the number every day, and as of right now, I am up to 385 (whoops -- 386, just got a new one) unread e-mails in my inbox. What I haven't completely realized is that I haven't gone through my inbox since January 29, just about 11 days. Whoa. That's a record.
Should get on that. But it's a pain-in-the-ass, plus I have other shit I need to do. And hey, at least it's not as big as my Hotmail, which is up to 40,000 e-mails and counting.
