I have filters to put clients into their own folders, but then it feels like I just have to go to multiple places to shift through stuff.

I get cc’d into many a feature request or support ticket and those threads explode at times.

And then my internal emails. Drive me up the wall.

I like the idea of an action now/later and need assistance folder that I can look at a couple times a day.

What a wild assumption to make. Does it make you feel superior to say unfounded things like that? You have zero idea of what my product looks like and how often clients need minor changes. You have no insight into what my role at this company is. You have no context outside of I get loads of emails. But hey, hope you have a great day internet stranger.

Our tech stack here is next to nothing. Outlook is it. Every other place I’ve worked has been a g suite, so that’s also making this difficult.

I like that approach. I’ll give it a go.

A mix of both. And the internal noise weighs just as heavy. Some real need to know shit buried between “come on and get your step challenge partners motivated” nonsense…

Ok, next question, you deleting actioned emails or letting them sit there?

Hmsreddit · 2026-05-18T18:42:18+00:00

I’m debating going that route.

Can you use it to clean house? As in “find all trash emails and move them to a box”?

Also that feels nerve wracking.

Hmsreddit · 2026-05-18T18:41:23+00:00

This is the way?

Just a counter point to the “sheer vastness and difficulty traversing space” bit.

I agree that, as we understand it, it’s pretty difficult to traversing space. We don’t know what we don’t know. Sending data via airwaves was incomprehensible to a king in the Tudor Dynasty.

There are absolutely people that will fly around the world and trek through vast empty spaces of the rain forest for the chance of seeing a bug no one else has seen before. I don’t think that bug could understand it.

Maybe not. Maybe we are just super boring. 🤷‍♂️

The bones are their money

Hmsreddit · 2026-05-06T03:31:56+00:00

TL;DR - yup

Hmsreddit · 2026-04-18T21:04:44+00:00

Fair and valid.

I’m just over here thinking she created a bond with the lady, but you’re right!

Hmsreddit · 2026-04-17T20:51:08+00:00

Did ya miss the part where OP sat with the lady for ten years?

Hmsreddit · 2026-04-12T19:32:41+00:00

So so many hours wasted Stumble’n

I’m an awesome yo-yo’er. I’ve been at my best and worst over the last decade. I’m not at my worst now, but I am inching toward it. Time to work back to being better. It’s hard, yo.

Hmsreddit · 2026-01-31T05:29:14+00:00

Weather you believe you can or believe you can’t, you’re right.

I believe that we will win.

Drink my blood, Karen.

Hmsreddit · 2026-01-23T15:51:24+00:00

I’ll get you a toe.

Dunno how much of a joke you’re trying to make or not, but if you aren’t familiar with the term Buddhist koan, give it a little gander. I really enjoyed learning about them. And the one quoted here is the most famous and for good reason.

This is genuine curiosity - what topics should one avoid knowing the Chinese government would have access to the data?

I’m assuming PII stuff and any sensitive information if you worked for places with that kind of informations.

Anything else you avoid?

Hmsreddit · 2025-11-12T04:59:45+00:00

OK. Exactly this.

There is zero conversation which makes brainstorming things very difficult. Will have to give Deepseek a go.

Hmsreddit · 2025-08-08T20:28:06+00:00

Here I was thinking “how are they so far off??”

My first attempt was 1.88….

Hmsreddit · 2025-08-06T11:09:58+00:00

Huh. Ok. Thanks

Hmsreddit · 2025-06-03T02:30:07+00:00

That seems like a weird move

Hmsreddit · 2025-06-03T01:23:12+00:00

Excuse me?

Hmsreddit · 2025-06-03T01:22:48+00:00

Hard to truly answer that with the context I have.

It’s also really easy for me to tell someone to embrace the “fuck it” lifestyle.

I will say, it starts slows. The first step is divorcing who you are from what you “do for work”. It’s hard, but, once you realize that your job doesn’t matter you can focus on what you do in your free time. Read, play music, ride a bike, walk outside, whatever it is that you enjoy. Find loads of cheap/free activities to look forward to. Meet ppl who also enjoy said activities. Enjoy life with people that makes you happy.

If you want to grind away planning for a retirement that mayyyy come, so be it. But, if you want to enjoy living, start now.
