Do you think some people consciously don’t respond to emails so they can’t be held liable for the email’s content?

I do.

Of course, I’m not talking about personal emails. And I’m not this skeptical about everyone I interact with.

But one person I send emails to consistently responds by phone, even when I request an email response.

I understand it’s much easier to respond by phone! It probably takes less time. And believe me, I hate feeling like I am being interrupted by Outlook all day, responding to emails, and searching for information.

But I do need some things in email form. Prices. Delivery Dates. Contract Agreements.

I’m not asking for this information so I can use it to pinpoint blame on someone, I just want a concrete record of the conversation. I don’t want to have to search for scribbled notes, or have to rack my brain to remember a credit that was quoted to me, or the delivery date of a crucial item.

It’s been a long work work. And guess what? I get to work on Saturday too. Yay.

Today’s Idiom: Skid Row – disreputable part of town, inhabited by derelicts and people “on the skid.”

It’s hard to say exactly how many areas of Chicago could be described as being part of skid row.
