grumpy day
internet use is being a pain in the butt lately. I can't cancel my at&t account, because I haven't been able to tie up loose ends. People keep emailing me there, and it seems like chasing down every loose end will take 30 minutes each. I owe email to this one person, and every single time I try to deal with it, my family suddenly needs me. She keeps emailing me, at the wrong account.

And I set up my main email account, originally, to have multiple aliases, but now I don't seem able to control that. I think that sorting that out would take about an hour, maybe two. Or about 20 hours to start a new email account altogether and abandon this one. I am trying to keep things *organized*, and have different ways of dealing with some of the different groups in my life, but it is not working.

scheduling is a pain in the butt too. I'm in an "I don't want to go anywhere, or do anything, or see anyone, ever again" mood.

and every time I get one thing sorted out, I find 5 new things have come up while I was doing that.

growl.

Maybe you could send the person who keeps emailing your old account -- and anyone else who's holding you back from dropping it -- a quick, friendly "Hi! Here's my new address" email, from your new email account. Then you can still do the real responses whenever you're ready, but you can still delete the old account.

If you were speaking Venusian and I'm speaking Martian, my apologies. :)

And do it with your new account as the main address your email is sent TO and put the person you send it to as a BCC, and then you don't have to tell them they were only one of three people who had to be notified this way.

Or, you could do the "I've been meaning to write, but just haven't had the time, so here's my new addy real quick so you can have it." Unless you don't want them to have it.
