You know you're an E-Mail E-ddict when ... ?
If you don't receive email for several minutes, you email yourself, just to make sure the email system hasn't gone down ...
You look up EVERY time your computer "BRRRINGS" to announce an email ...
You get upset if you don't receive a response to your email message in an hour ...
You stop what you are doing to answer an "easy" email, even tho' it might not be the most important ...
You check your email the minute you get outa bed ...
You ask new acquaintances for their email addresses, not their phone numbers ...
You open your email first, before doing anything else ...
You hit "Send/Receive" as a habit ...
You keep more than 100 items in your inbox at all times ...
You click "send/receive" just to make sure you haven't "missed" any email ...
You check your spam filters hourly (or less) to make sure you're not missing anything ...
You email the person sitting in the desk next to you, rather than turn around to ask the question ...
Alcoholics have one, and so do drug abusers. Now people addicted to e-mail also have a 12-step program designed to tackle their obsession.
If you think you're e-ddicted, there is hope with Marsha Egan's 12 Step Cure Your Email E-ddiction Detox Program.
