My boss hates email. He says to me: Why do you email me when we sit next to each other?
1 Half the time he is not in the office. The other half the time I am not there.
One solution: I do have bits of paper noting all the things I have to say to him.
2 When he is in the office he is on the ?phone. Sometimes on two ?phones. Yes, he has 2 ears.
Solutions: call him on one (or both) of the ?phones! Leave voicemail messages (he does not always reply)
SMS him (ditto).
3 When he is not on the ?phone he is in meetings.
Solution: leave bits of paper on his desk. Leave voicemail. SMS.
Oh, how I love email!
BTW, hotmail does check how many senders one is emailing. One of my email lists got too large. Yes, and I have received spam from my (spoofed) self, as well as from a good friend.
