I deal with email all day and now that I have a smartphone check it way oftener than I used to on my off time.

It's absolutely ridiculous. I probably spend fully half of every working day dealing with email, and so many people communicate so poorly in writing that I often have no idea what the person is talking about. Maybe we could train the stinkbugs to manage our email.Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-18732057626590713472015-04-22T09:11:02.000-04:002015-04-22T09:11:02.000-04:00Exactly - email is not a happy place anymore.

If I'm lucky, I can weed through and delete about two-thirds of it as junk, but I still have plenty of "real" messages to deal with... and THAT is the problem: e-mail started as a fun way to communicate with friends and family. Now it's mostly work, advertisements, spam, and more work. <br />Some days I have to force myself check my personal e-mail because it's more of the same, although instead of work it's the neighborhood association or parent group for track or scouts or _____ (fill in the blank). All of it represents things that other people want or expect us to do for them. <br />Sorry about those stink bugs. I don't have any more advice except to move away -- and you don't want to do that, you have freshly painted walls!Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965093440928340819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-33611552233868180612015-04-21T23:33:40.525-04:002015-04-21T23:33:40.525-04:00Unfortunately, I have to check email many times du...Unfortunately, I have to check email many times during the day. It seems a person cannot be a coach unless he knows how to switch games and practices on a maddeningly frequent, last minute basis. If I didn't check it, my kids would be left to die at an empty soccer field, so, check it I will. But they can't make me happy about it.<br />Good luck with that stink bug. I'd be more sympathetic, but I'm in the middle of our annual sugar ant invasion, hot on the heels of our lady bug take-over.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-75964065626310637572015-04-21T21:17:46.194-04:002015-04-21T21:17:46.194-04:00E-mail AND stinkbug anxiety all at the same time? ...E-mail AND stinkbug anxiety all at the same time? Just more evidence that life is unfair.<br /><br />I have no good solution to e-mail.
