Today's 4.5 hour #TrainToIUGG meant I processed about half of the 2600 emails in my work inbox (excludes spam + list emails!). I should be able to deal with the rest tomorrow am.

But the oldest emails I had in there were only from mid-April, implying my unprocessed backlog alone is about 260 emails a week. (I probably delete about the same number each week as I go).

How are we supposed to get any work done when answering emails is basically a full-time job?

PSA: Never leave your new tablet and stylus out in the open while editing a scientific paper on overleaf.

Especially not if there are curious 10 year olds in the vicinity who like to "paint" and are desparate to try it out with a stylus on a tablet.

Sincerely, - a scientist who has lots a couple of hours of edits...
