I've heard people talk about declaring email bankrupcy....they get so many emails that they feel they can never get back on top of them to respond and act upon all of them.
They simply trash them all, start clean, and hope for improvement moving forward.
Not a real bad idea....I get more than 200 a day (though half go straight to my junk folder). But if I'm out for a few days, it will take me a week or two to sort through them all, read and learn what I'm supposed to learn, or provide a response.
Bankruptcy doesn't sound too bad.

Monopoly
Hi all:
Tired of the Primaries? Well, vote in an election where you can make a difference!
Monopoly is creating the first-ever WORLD edition of the game, with a game board featuring the greatest cities in the world. What are those cities? YOU DECIDE!
From now until Feb. 28, you can vote for 10 cities once a day at www.monopoly.com. You'll need to create an identity based on your email address the first time you vote, but then it's very simple.
There's a ballot of 68 candidates, with the top 20 making the board. (The final two spots are reserved for "Wild Cards").
New York City -- the greatest city in the world -- is faring well, but just slipped to yellow. Don't you think it should be a blue? Help get us back up there? Surprisingly, the actual number of votes dividing the leaders isn't huge, so every vote counts.
And while I love all the world cities, I think the U.S. should have AT LEAST two on the board. Vegas is the next likely to get back up on the board, so, please consider voting for them.
One other note: if you vote for cities ahead of NYC based on the leader board, you don't really give a 'push' to NYC, so you may want to omit voting for them, even if you love London. Otherwise, NYC doesn't move in the rankings.
Here's wishing eternal Free Parking to all who vote early and often (daily!).

Apostles
The problem with becoming an apostle is knowing that you will either become the prophet one day or else die trying....

The Unwritten Policy
When watching the kids who are still in diapers, there are times when you suspect that they have a dirty diaper -- and you know you can confirm it by sniffing the child's bottom. But you also know that if you sort of "ignore" the initial whiff (and don't do the confirming 'bottom sniff') you can pretend you didn't know the child had a dirty diaper on your shift...and it hence becomes the responsibility of the person who inherits watching said child next.
In cases like this, it's a matter of "Don't Ask, Don't Smell"
