How Lost Would You Be Without E-mail?

Have you ever considered how dependant you are on e-mail?  How would you get your business done if your e-mail account went down for a day or two or more?  I am sure that is a scary thought for most of you who are reading this.

Well this is day three and no relief in sight for me.  After more calls to tech support than I can count and several reassurances it will be back up, I am still pulling my hair out.  The scariest part is that no one who sends me an e-mail gets any kind of error message that it didn't go through.

No e-mail for three days.  During that time I signed two new listings and opened two new escrows.  It has been challenging to contact everyone that I expect to get messages from.  What about all the others that I have no way of knowing who they are?

I pride myself on being responsive and this is killing me inside.  Hopefully it will be up today.  If not I may be sucking wind over the weekend.

Those who complain about my lack of responsiveness will at least give me an opportunity to apologize and service them.  The others will just go away and I may never know it happened.

This has taught me how dependant I am on my e-mail.
