Volumes of Email
While import, the typical amount of email I receive is minimal. Most things are put out at the morning quarters and emails are reserved for a broader audience. Since I’ve been underway, that amount has almost tripled. It seems like people have less to do and more information that they feel is necessary for everyone to read. When I get the chance, I check my email about 3-4 times a day. I don’t have the liberty of having my own computer; rather I have to share the computer in my office with about 10 other people. Each time I check my email, there is no less than 10-15 new messages. If I am lucky there is a new one from my wife or there’s something from the outside world (which means updates from twitter, usually). Most of the time though, it’s useless items regarding the schedule or meetings or something else that I either don’t need to see or didn’t need to be sent through the email.
As long as the internet connection is going strong and I get emails in small or large amounts from the outside world, my day is brightened a little and my trip goes that much quicker.
