A 'lil bitchin' on my end...

Is e-mail so ingrained into our society that I am not able to *forget* to check my e-mail or decide to wait and read an e-mail until I have time to read it?

I found myself on the receiving end of a slight butt chewing just because of both - the first e-mail I had recieved unwanted and not worth replying since I didn't want to to do what it was asking (volunteer kind of thing). And then apparently a second e-mail was sent out just so a certain group of people WOULD answer - asking us to reply even if we didn't want to do it.

Well, I have no class on Thursday and I didn't have time to check my e-mail until after the butt-chewing. I seriously don't need someone hunting me down and then told that I *HAVE* to check my e-mail. Even if it is from a certain office - the e-mail wasn't something pertinent to my communication between me and that office.

AND the first e-mail did not say anything about replying - only the second one. Which, I don't believe was fair for myself to get growled at. I, as a person, deserve better than that. The incident has disturbed me today and now I doubt I will be comfortable around that person again because I know what they think of me - as someone who apparently doesn't have my priorities set right - their priorities. I'm sorry I am not a conformist - and not out to please everyone. I will work on that when I get God-like status.

There, that's better. :-)
