Here's the problem
Communication, people. It's all about communication. We are lazy people. We are so lazy that when someone emails us, we don't write back EVEN THOUGH it is simply a matter of clicking on the reply button and typing a few words. You don't EVEN have to put the address in the email. It is automatically done for you. I am not speaking of personal emails, so anyone reading should know that I am not speaking of my friends. I am talking about several emails I have sent at work for professional reasons and people have not responded. People who are public figures and allegedly serve the community. I am so irritated right now I feel like calling them up and asking them why they are such ASSES. All I need is a yes or no. I'm not going to be mad at the answer, but I want an answer. An acknowledgement that I have sent you a message and you have you used your (however limited) ability to read. This experience has made me realize that I need to respond to all emails that require responses as a matter of courtesy. Take this as a public service announcement and keep up with your electronic correspondence.

If I don't get a response, I will send another email saying that I am following up on the last email. Then, if they still don't respond, I send another email saying I still haven't heard anything and I just wanted to follow up again... and so on and so on.
I'm guilty of ignoring work-related emails if I don't feel like figuring out the problem right then. But if it was a yes or no answer, I think I could handle that.
golly! work emails? not for a massage therapist lol
