or: My Wednesday Morning Confession
I am maybe-kind-of-just-a-little-bit obsessive about keeping my inbox clean. I don’t like visual clutter of any kind, which you wouldn’t always know by looking around my room, but that need for neatness extends into my online spaces as well. It’s just too much input for the already scatterbrained. It’s one of the reasons why I prefer Hotmail to Gmail*: I can move the e-mails I want to keep out of my inbox and into separate folders so that they are out of my face.
See? Even Hotmail is impressed?
The thing is, I know what Hotmail means is that I can receive messages from more than one of my e-mail accounts. But to me it just sounds like, “Did you know you can recieve messages? From other people?”
At which point I have the sudden and overwhelming urge to prove to my inbox that, yes, I really do have friends.
*eta: Hannah tells me that Gmail now has that functionality. Good to know. Maybe Gmail won’t make me feel like such a hermit.
