Hey folks. Been a while since I rapped at ya. I guess I haven’t been very grumpy.  I could bitch about the weather, but that signals the end of this blog.

IM clients should completely block messages like “hey, did you see my email?”  Have a little confidence, people.  I don’t know about your email client, but mine tells me when I have unread messages.  Even worse is a phone call with the same question.  Stop that.  Is the answer ever “no?”   Often, I’ll get these IMs before my email client has even pulled the message from the server.  I guess I should answer “no” in that case.  Even if your email is really important, give the recipient an hour.  He/she is probably busy, just like you.  He/she might even be working on something more important than your request. OMG!  Also, don’t ask “are we there yet?” in the car, and don’t chew with your mouth open.
