The Corporate E-mail Trail
All,
One more thing I forgot to mention in the previous entry is corporate e-mail. For those of you who don't know what that means, it implies e-mailing each other frequently (incessantly) at work during the work days. It is intended to help break up the monotony of the day. I have two groups of friends that take part in this, one I call "NIU and Michigan" and the other "Mendota and Friends". I really do not participate in these lists, as I honestly do not grasp how they can do it and especially as frequently. Over the last month though, without ever really a formal invite, I have been brought along for many a "carbon-copy" ride.
Well, yesterday, Wednesday, it finally hit record proportions. When I got off work I turned on my phone and asked it to check personal e-mail account. In the 20 minutes it took to get home, it still had not finished downloading all the e-mail. Yesterday, alone, I received 370 e-mails! 365 of them from the "Mendota and Friends" group. Now you would think many were due to me responding, but no I didn't respond to any! Simply put, unbelievable. While this is impressive, the NIU group has been the ones to routinely constipate my inbox during the past month. Either way, both of these groups have flipped their lids in the past month. Look at these numbers:
2008 MTF Personal E-mail Statistics (not including junk mail)
January 1 - September 14: 1,877 e-mails received.
September 15 - October 8: 1,548 e-mails received.
Error: +/- 30 e-mails.
Ridiculous. I really don't think I should congratulate this, and the fact I give these numbers recognition may mean I'm headed for even more e-mail. Yesterday, the "Mendota and Friends" group was e-mailing at the rate of once every 90 seconds! And if you factor out a lunch break it approaches once a minute! My gosh, I need to partition my hard drive just to hold these e-mails. While these two corporate e-mail groups are separate, they every once in a while overlap. And their subject matters as of late have been remarkably (eerily) similar.
So to Mengler, Guider, and Vujea ... and to Miles, 'Vis, Roop, and the occasional Slim and Luke ... you guys have WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS!
Whether you corporate e-mail every 90 seconds or you are like me and try to dodge the carbon copy ride, we all know how we do it from the 'Sota, to the 'Dota, and to the Flo'da ... mmmbooyah!

First I would like to say I take credit for starting the corporate email atleast for "mendota and friends" however the real reason for what I believe is my first ever comment on a breeze enter is this famous sign off line. It has been "from the 'sota to the 'dota" which I love, however in the last couple I have noticed a change to "from the 'sota to the 'dota to the flo'da" I am uphalled! especially without details!

I completely agree. There should be no new states added to the sign off without knowing the details!!!

I went to Flo'da, I enjoyed Flo'da, so Flo'da gets recognition. I need to ask permission for my own sign-off lines?! Ha!

If your experiment needs statistics, you ought to have done a better experiment.
