E-mail needs
Our work e-mail has been down for the past two days. It finally came back on today.
I can’t explain to you how frustrating it is not to have e-mail as a member of the media. How am I supposed to get news tips, event listings or other correspondence?
Freelancers also submit their by e-mail. I had to call our freelancers and give them my alternate e-mail address. It wasn’t a big deal because I don’t mind talking to most of the freelancers.
I felt so lost the last couple of days. I’m used to getting at least 40 e-mails a day. Most of the time they are about accidents, road work and Google alerts. And the scams telling me that some rich person died in Nigeria or England or wherever and left me a bunch of money.
E-mail is just so convenient even for our office communication. Managers send us messages keeping us updated on policies and other things we need to know about. It’s so much easier sending an e-mail than walking 10 feet to someone else’s desk.
I pray that my e-mail stays connected so I’m not in the dark again.
I come to depend on it too~~ Gr8 weblog, cheers…
