@stormchaser2014 famous day in weather history today. The mobile home park that was hit was about a tenth of a mile from our house.

**** you NBC15. They decided to show some NFL program last night in The Blacklist's time slot. It's not a big deal that I have to watch it online, but how are you supposed to know about it? Especially if you record it and watch it later. If I would have decided to watch it last night after the game, I would have been extremely pissed.

A lot of it has to do with the fact that I get email after email and it becomes a full time job sorting through the junk. I try to do a cleanup once in a while. Now that the company has been sold I will need to really scour through what is in there and archive most of it so I have a pst file to access old stuff.
The current company added some ridiculous security to email, it has to call my work phone and I have to answer to confirm it's me or else. Of course if you're trying to access email from the road it's rather difficult to answer the work phone and I am not transferring my calls when on pto.
My work started a program this year. If the email is in you inbox it is deleted after 90 days. Completely. Archived items after 12yrs I think.
Every Friday I try to go through the most recent (top down) to see if I've missed anything. I try to keep mine under 500... I've started filing items if I have a more recent email that contains the whole thread. There have been times, like after the budget creation period that I schedule in an afternoon to go through to make sure I am not missing anything.
Trailer parks are tornado magnets. It's a scientific fact.
@wxman1 Today is also the anniversary of the first photograph of a tornado, April 26th, 1884, Garnett, KS.

Lincoln, Nebraska used to be considered just the opposite. Back in the '90s many people there had all sorts of outrageous theories why storms would be on track for Lincoln and then mysteriously split, swerve or break up right before hitting Lincoln. Two of my favorites were the giant military runway just west of town that used to be used for bombers with solar heating or something creating a disruptive updraft there that disrupted storms and indian burial grounds.
I believe they have had their share of tornadoes since to totally blow these theories away (pun intended).
Like I said, burned too many times on that. It's nice having the email stating that yes, yes you did say that you would do X or show that I did y. Some projects I kept everything for potential legal purposes as well.trying now to at least delete older emails of a chain if the most recent one has the full chain in it. That helps clean a lot.
90 days? Yikes. Though I think by the time I left the 13th my most recent email was from late March so I was getting it cleared. Two week's worth, lol. Want to do same as you, schedule time to regularly clear and make sure nothing is missed.
I also get emails with questions like "remember that thing from 8 months ago? I think it might have happened again"
It doesn't always happen. I think had over 1k due to this year's budget planning. It took me several weeks to file and catch up. YIKES
Z may be tired of commercials interrupting her videos, but SATURDAY Whoo!
I'm finally getting people weaned off of assuming I have something (electronic or hard copy) from years ago. I have thrown a lot away and lost some to memory failures, but I still have a lot of purging to do.
That mix sounds exactly like the music I listen to all the time in my truck on 105 The Beach.
Yep! Also, I keep every single IT ticket because it never fails that I'll ha e the exact same issue on a new computer/person with one of our programs requiring admin privileges or something else out of the norm and it'll be all new IT people who don't believe me and have no documentation on how to handle said issue. So I pull up old tickets.
Why don’t you guys with all the filing do what I did when in the corporate world? I just had my secretary do most of that. Frees up a lot of work. Hire a second one if that one can’t keep up.
4am is too early to land. And now regretting not taking the shorter connection, but didn't think we should risk it at LAX, no experience flying thru here. Landed 40 minutes early and the walk to our connection was 3 gates. DH is all I told you but whatevs, hard to know how these things will work out.
Going to try and look at baby furniture when we get to Chicago since they have more options and an Ikea. I'll let you know if we settle on a $2500 set
