Laziness Takes Over

There was a time when I used to pride myself on the rate at which I reply to e-mails. Send me an e-mail and I'll gaurantee a response in a couple of hours. Sometimes, couple of minutes. There was a point when some of my friends never called, but mailed in, saying I reply to mails faster than I pick up the phone. How true!

How times have changed over the last few months. I have like a thousand e-mails to reply to (this is all personal and not work related). Some recruiters had mailed me a month back and even if I am not interested, I reply with a thank you and I will consider this when I am actively looking etc. This time, I did not. Then I have some people who probably read this blog, dont comment but mail in. So any of you who have mailed me and I have not replied, I hope to get back to ya in a few days. Your patience = My appreciation. And then there is Dad, who has mailed in asking when I plan to get married. THAT, GETS NO REPLY!!!! And then there was Bird, who mailed in asking if he gets invited to the marriage.

Also, I have spent a good five minutes this weekend thinking why this adverse reaction to hitting the reply button.

• Laziness (But when was replying to e-mails considered work?)
• My job. Ever since they have moved me into a PM kinda role, all I do is reply to emails and talk about playing Golf. So perhaps I am sick and tired of emails.
• My job. Its so crazy at work right now, I am too tired by the time I get home.
• My job.

Perhaps I am getting somewhere....

But there was one e-mail that I did send out. On a lazy Friday morning, I did an ego search for Pals name. And came upon a brilliant link. So I sent that to Adit, Iyer and Abbs. This is equivalent to throwing Pals amidst hungry lions.

Here is the link. Its a forum for JAVA developers, where Pals (Paryul Mehta) has asked a few questions. Scroll somewhere near to the bottom. Adit alias "Noah Davidson" has replied to his queries. Poor confused Pals. We love taking his case on that spirituality topic, dont we?

Pals, I know you are reading this. Adit begs forgiveness. I plead not guilty. Abbs doesnt care and Iyer says he can actually build that piece of code for you.
