The Daily Dose/May 14, 2021
By Gaylon Kent
America’s Funniest Guy
Editor’s Note: Gaylon is working on a project and most elements of The Daily Dose – Leading Off, The Sunday Bottom 5, On This Date, Some Philosophy Crap, Trivia – are either on hiatus or running intermittently. Your full-service Daily Dose will return, probably later this spring, though perhaps in the summer.
Today At The Site
Writing worth reading. Usually.
The Diary of a Nobody – On a day off, Sparrow cleans out a couple of email accounts. Today’s Diary.
To kill time before being allowed to go to bed I cleaned out my two Gmail accounts…One, which I’ve had for 15 years or so and another I started four or five years ago when I did some freelance writing, something I didn’t particularly enjoy because people were always telling me what to write and when to have it done by.
There was a lot to delete…The older account had almost 60,000 unread messages and even the newer one had 25,000 or so and it was to the point where neither was particularly functional…Compounding the problem was there isn’t a Delete Every Goddamn Email button and there are only 50 unread messages per page and deleting them this way would take until the second coming…
Some Philosophy Crap
The wisdom of the ages. Whatever.
But all that is yesterday. This…is the adventure now.
