E-MAIL RESOLUTIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR

I will try to figure out why I really need 9 e-mail addresses.
I will stop sending e-mail to my wife (husband).
I resolve to work with neglected children—my own.
I will answer my snail-mail with the same enthusiasm with which I answer my e-mail.
I will stop sending e-mail, ICQ, Instant Messages and be on the phone at the same time with the same person.
I will resolve to back up my 12GB hard drive daily…well once a week…okay, monthly then…or maybe.
I will spend less than one hour a day on the Internet. This, of course, will be hard to estimate since I'm not a clock watcher.
When I hear “Where do you want to today?” I will not reply “MS Tech Support.”
When I hear a funny joke I will not reply,”LOL…LOL!”
I will read the manual…just as soon as I can find it.
I will think of a password other than “password.”
I will stop checking my e-mail at 3:00 in the morning…4:30 is much more practical.
I resolve…I resolve to…I resolve to, uh,…I resolve to, uh, get my, ER…I resolve to, uh, get my, ER, off-line work done, too!
I will stop circulating the “Good Times Virus” and “Join the Crew” e-mail.
I will read all of the mail from all the lists I have subscribed to.
I will try the e-mail version of the Mrs. Fields cookie recipe.
I will not “throw” another snowball via e-mail; at least not ‘til next year.

I will remember to protect my friends e-mail addresses by putting their addresses in the Bcc:field when I am doing a mass e-mail.
I will keep my e-mail messages neat by copy and pasting into a new message instead of forwarding one that has to be opened 10x to read!
