On a day like today, when I’ve sent 75+ emails, received 100+ emails, and ignored the 70 in my inbox, I have to wonder.

How did offices operate before email? I’m only 31, and I’ve never worked in an office that didn’t have email. Ok, maybe that job I had when I was 20 something, but with my boss in the office next to mine, I didn’t need email. And prior to that, when I worked at Carvel…well, no email there, either!

Prior to email, were people on the phone all day? Sending things by fax? Inter-office mail? How DID people get along without emails? In a company like mine, and in my job, I need to talk to people daily who are thousands of miles away…and it simply wouldn’t be possible without my trust Outlook by my side.
