What To Do About BEING ATTACHED TO EMAIL

By: Terry Barga | 4. Jul 2008



I must admit that I am attached to my email. Maybe it is because it’s on my iphone and it makes me look important. Aside from email being my source of income, indirectly that is, I feel like I need to check my email even if I know that there is nothing new. I see that little red number on the icon of my phone and I get excited and I think I finally know why. I need to be needed and I want to be wanted. It feels good to be depended on… it makes you feel really good. I like that people have questions that they think only I can answer and salesmen have things that they think I want to buy from them through my email, it’s so convenient.

I wish I had more messages. I would much rather talk to people over email than over the phone. You don’t have to wait for them to finish talking, you just wait till you get a message and then return the message. You don’t even have to say hello if you dont want to, you can say “greetings”, or “thanks so much”… things you would never say over the phone. Email is great. If you are only using your phone you should hang up and email ‘em. You can say things like “can’t wait to see you again”, “hope you had a good day” and “peace out”.

Email has made a world of difference in the lives of many men that previously where not able to say I love you to their wives. Not to mention their brothers and best friends, email is building relationships everyday without all of that useless touching. Check it responsibly.

    Ha. So you can't bring yourself to say “thanks so much” over the phone? In an email you can say “regards” or “best” both of which sound pretty awkward over the phone.

    Over email you can also say “best regards to you & yours” and “warm regards”.

    Haha, I would laugh so hard if someone said “peace out” to me on the phone.
