So here's the short of it, 
E-mail!!!

And here's the long.

We have an ultimatum from work that our e-mail must be below 150 mg.
We had until December 20th to get our e-mails compliant with the new limits. Then we were rescued by having the deadline pushed to January 9th!  Of course lots of us needed that extra time.  I am WAY over the minimum!!

I went in to the office today - well not a full day as I went late and had to come home at 3:30 because they were closing the building.  I worked on e-mail the whole time - and I'm still not low enough!

For a long time they told us that if we would get them out of our in-box and put them in folders that we'd be OK.  Turns out that was not true.  It was still taking up space!  So I've been diligently putting my e-mails in folders all this time.  Now I'm just deleting them!  I've even stopped worrying about deleting "something I might need".  I probably have a couple more days to get this accomplished.  I'll probably go in on Thursday for a bit and work on it a little more.

I'm glad to have good work to do.  I'm glad to have an office to go to. I'm glad to have e-mail and not have to rely on interoffice paper mail anymore.  This e-mail limit is hard - but I'm glad for it. I have a hard time throwing things away, and this is good practice.  After I get all the e-mails deleted, I'm going to tackle one of my file cabinets, and then another one, and then another!

Wish me luck and send my positive good vibes for support!

So here's the short of it,
e-mail, e-mail, e-mail

And here's the long.

About a week or maybe a little more ago, we got a directive from our district saying that we have to significantly pare down our e-mails. Off and on over the years, we've gotten messages telling us to clean up our in-box. But now we have to clean out our whole storage. We've all been working on it, and of course since everyone is on every chance they get it is really slow.

I have until December 20th to get this accomplished!
We have someone coming from the IT department tomorrow to talk to us because many of us have e-mail that we think we need to keep for legal purposes!  Oh well. I'm going to be busy cleaning up e-mail for awhile it seems. I don't think I'm alone in this according to what I'm hearing every time I have a conversation with someone!

I'll appreciate all the good thoughts and positive vibes you can send!
