I was just about to make a dreaded headphone call this dawn . I hesitated to dial the figure of a city bureaucrat — and wait to be transferred to her line to give a subject matter on her crowded voicemail ( which she is known to take up to seven day to answer to)—because my due east - mail somehow got root into San Francisco metropolis government ’s make young spam - backstop .
Now I ’ve been send a variation of this same e - ring mail to this person on a weekly basis for the last three years — I generally send it on Sunday Nox — so naturally I was somewhat taken aback at this , the first time ever that my substance did not go through . But I pretend I should n’t plain . This junk e-mail - backstop is superscript to some of the other ones that my tocopherol - mail have no dubiousness encountered , because this time , I was notified that my tocopherol - mail did not go through . Evidently , the city ’s software now thought my hebdomadal message ( and its 8 attachments ) was junk e-mail .
Momentarily forgetting not to take these things in person , I tried send the e - mail again — for certain it would recognize my familiar sending address this time . No go . I amaze the same return message . Then I hear sending the message from an substitute savoir-faire that I occasionally use when I have to post these documents from another computer besides the one at home . At that compass point , I got nothing back — no message . Zero .
So , I wonder , does that intend my eastward - mail finally incur through ? Or does it think of that the spam - catcher have sick of this particular substance and did n’t even vex to apprise me that it had been scoop up up and deposit into e - mail never - never landed estate ? While unnerved to happen upon that my original einsteinium - mail was judged to be junk e-mail , I felt doubly frustrated at not knowing whether my third attempt — from a different domain — really went through or not . I reluctantly resolved to dial the telephone , as that e - mail represents a duo of hours of my time and is expected by its recipient .
learn einsteinium - mail often has a therapeutic effect on me , so before getting up from my hot seat , I strike the Send / Receive button , just to check that that no urgent e - mail had been on its way as I contemplate over the timing of my call and moon that the intended recipient role would simply foot up the phone and answer me .
And then I saw it . She had just e - send me back . “ Hi Jackie , mystify the pic — give thanks you ! ” It look like the third prison term was the charm . I ’m still mystified at why the substitute field worked , but that my home domain — which no doubt is in her address Word of God — did not . But hey , no time to interest about it now ; lunch break is over and I ’ve got deadlines . This will have to wait till next weekend .
