Paperwork (Tuesday) Makes Lena Sad

March 12, 2012 By Lena

Happy Monday! Tuesday!

For all my TO-based readers, chances are you’re coming off a splendid weekend spent outdoors. 17 degrees Celsius – Holy Hannah!

And while I had every intention of answering the backlog of about 147 e-mails I have rudely accrued, alas, the sun and warmer temps called… and my inbox remained ignored.

Hence, I’ve declared today Paperwork Monday Tuesday and will aim to tirelessly pare down my messages from 969 to about 600. Surely that’s a start, no?

(I’m not really that popular – I just have e-mails from October 2011 that I still have to action in some way. I hate myself.)

In the meantime, I’ve been listening to an adult contemporary station and was instantly taken down memory lane with this beautiful, haunting duet from Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey: Where You Are.

Sorry Chris Brown and Rihanna – you can keep your tacky, foul-mouthed collaboration to yourself. Sigh, my heart belongs to this song circa 1999.

    Sometimes, I hate email. It’s way too easy to ignore/forget/not respond even when really, really you mean to. And then we end up with a million unanswered/dealt with emails.

    I feel the pain.

      And… I think there’s a rule that if you don’t answer an e-mail in the first 48 hours, chances are you won’t answer it at all :(

    As much as ‘paperwork’ or ‘e-mail’ days suck, you’ll feel so much better once you’ve made a dent in them!
