Early warnings

This posting by email will probably have to stop soon. At which point, with the last of my outlets gone, I will begin to go quietly insane.

Just thought you ought to know.

Having recently been busted on that account myself (and all the paranoia that goes with it) I got a clarification today about abuse that was actually pretty helpful.
Typically, management will look the other way if it doesn't interfere with work and not an everyday thing. If you're having an emergency it's-either-this-or-get-my-shotgun-out-of-the-trunk-of-my-car moment, of course the posting would be the preferable method of stress management. If you're having a crisis (work or domestic) and someone who can help is most efficiently reached by E-mail, by all means.

But the general rule is, if it takes more than five minutes to post or compose that E-mail, or something more pressing is set aside so you can finish, and it's going on almost daily, then that's kind of frowned upon.

So I wouldn't necessarily say it has to stop. But if you manage to keep a handle on it and not let it override your work mode you should be okay.
