I have a confession to make, Dear Bloggers. I am an e-mail junkie. I check my e-mail at least 4 times a day. I enjoy reading most of them. I enjoy organizing them into folders. I enjoy "cleaning up " my e-mails by deleting them. I don't forward as much as I used to...but I will forward "a good one" here and there. I enjoy referring to SNOPES when I receive one of those outlandish forwards. I recently got an e-mail that said that the couple who post SNOPES are really not authorities on anything....they just google like you and me!
So, I am a little disjointed today. My Yahoo Mail is DOWN and has been for almost 24 hours! I CAN'T CHECK MY E-MAIL!
I actually take care of things via e-mail. Right now, I need to e-mail Brooke, my tax accountant, and my financial planner. The State of Texas sends me updates to my personal e-mail for work. Not to mention that I am sure that I have accumulated about 100 "non-Spam" e-mails.
This is, by far, the longest I have been incommunicado. And get this! Today our State server was down at work. Could not get into our program to communicate with Austin or complete the report I'm working on that is late due to weather office closures last week. So, in my altered neurological state today, I was having paranoid thoughts about Homeland Security issues. Maybe crippling the Internet is a valid way to do us in. I wasn't really concerned, but that did cause me to think that we rely so much on the Internet. Two people in the office had to find a phone book to look up phone numbers. One person couldn't get on MapQuest or Expedia to plot directions to an agency.
So, here I sit, feeling lost, disoriented, and out of touch. Thank goodness for Facebook!
