So. Back from a lovely chilled holiday way from the stresses of the world. And careering straight into a wall of overdue requests, urgent queries, half urgent queries, mild inquiries and 46 additional missed calls. My phone, desktop tyrant that it is, enjoys letting me know that I'm in demand while petulently refusing to let me know who called. Punishment for not using it for two weeks, I expect. A ridiculous 695 emails clogging up the arteries of my Outlook. Initially, I was slightly pleased as clearly the number of emails indicates you connectedness within the company...Right? I had to challenge this assumption after clearing out numerous Dilbert Cartoons, BBC newsletters, magazine news alerts, and hundreds of CC'd emails left me with approximately 3. So, NOT having very many emails clearly indicates that I am so efficient that work goes on seamlessly in my absence. That’s more like it. Interestingly, I have also been offered the chance to make millions via some generous scammer in Nigeria. Relentless aren't they? It must be the most well known scam in the world by now. But...if you'd like to see how some enteprising bloggers are dealing with the situation, go here.
