I've just checked my e-mail. It's the first time I've checked it in a week & I had 9 new messages - woo hoo I'm so popular I thought:>>
However, after looking in my inbox I had 3 items of junk mail (2 of which was the same mail from the same company claiming they'd seen my CV & wondered whether I'd like them to send me an info pack about them as they thought I am just the person they are looking for - yeah right! If they've seen my CV they must be psychic as I havn't applied for a new job in over 3 years and so there is no way that they could have just happened to have seen my CV!)
Five were from friends forwarding supposedly funny e-mails to me. (2 of which were the same & I'd seen it before already - although it is one of the few funny e-mails doing the rounds at the mo). It always annoys me when friends forward e-mails on to me that aren't funny, or are disgusting/offensive, or are those stupid chain letters which say you are going to suffer bad luck/your dreams won't come true/the world is going to end if you don't forward them on to 10 people. I have never forwarded these on to people & I'm still alive & well!
I've only ever forward on the genuinely funny e-mails, I just wish my friends would do the same rather than fill my inbox up with >:XX
The final e-mail was from Oxfam asking me to sign a petition asking Tony Bliar (that scumbag that is currently "running" our country) to request that he sticks to the make poverty history promises he made last year. If you are reading this then I recommend you go to the Oxfam website & sign it - it might encourage him to do one good thing before he hands power to Gordon Brown (whenever/if that ever happens).
Anyway, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that of 9 e-mails recieved over the course of a week there was only one that was of any use to me. I seem to spend more time deleting e-mails than actually reading them - I'm sure that whoever it was who invented e-mails didn't intend it to be used in this way?
