E-Mail
I check it way too much, does anyone else find themselves checking it almost every 5 minutes, over and over again. I dont know why, its a bit like refreshing GD in the hope someone has replied when your bored.
Anyway anyone else do this or the like?

Re: E-Mail
Shit. I didn't check it for 10 days, and I'm expecting a mail from a University (or have been, for two weeks), and yeah, there it is. 9 days since I got it. I'm finding myself refreshing various forums over and over again every 10 minutes though. It's a bit of the same thing, I guess.

Re: E-Mail
I seem to check my gmail account a few times a day without even realising it. I will be sitting there bored thinking what can I do now and suddenly it has just loaded up. I'm subscribed to quite a few things though like The Economist so generally there are a few articles a day there for me to read. If I am actually expecting something important though I can go a bit over the top in the hope it has arrived.
My uni and hotmail accounts though I check about once a week if that.

Re: E-Mail
I only look for emails if I know one's been sent. It does mean I tend to reply late to certain people who I don't want to.

Re: E-Mail
I do the same thing, pig. I never have any interesting emails.
There is nothing worse (well, you know, relatively speaking) than being bored on the internet.

Re: E-Mail
My homepage is Yahoo and that has my e-mail so it tells me if I have any new mail so, no I don't.
