Don’t want to
You don’t have to level up to this, you can just say it. I mean, you probably can’t to your boss, but you can say this to all those other emails you get where you don’t have any particular obligation. If you think that “I don’t want to” is a bit harsh, you can be…

My Trust Issues with Small Businesses and Custom Domains

Emails About Not Getting Emails Are the Worst Emails
Sarah Miller, in a story, ostensibly, about not getting emails: The help guy said he would send me an email. And then he sent an email, to my email, the only email I ever use, the email that never doesn’t get emails, ever. I have no reason to disbelieve this. And I didn’t get it.…
