Sometimes the light bulb goes off....
So K's been spamming me, both with comments on my posts and private emails (27 as of this morning in a 24 hour time frame).
To be honest, it was getting annoying. Last night I was trying to fill out school stuff (put money in lunch accounts, look up doc info for the paperwork, finish the insurance transfers, etc) and every five seconds, an email would pop up from her. I'm sorry - I have work to do, I don't have time for your obsession - you know three kids, three careers, a house, two cats, a love on the other side of the world and my ex keep me kind of busy.
I was annoyed. Not to mention, when someone is acting like a crazy person and stalking you, the last thing you want to see in your email box is, you know, THEIR name. But I was all pissy because I can block her IP from viewing my website, but I couldn't keep her from emailing me.
Wo is me. You feel bad for me, don't you?
So this morning (well, about an hour ago), I sat down to check my email. 18 new emails. The second one from the top? K. AGAIN? The one above it? Selling me some magic potion to make my penis longer (is that possible for a woman?) So I checked off the email and hit the spam button. POOF! It disappeared from my view. I won't be hearing from those penis enlarging people again!
Then it hit me. AHA! 1. I'm a doofus. 2. I hit K's email and then clicked "spam".
Handled. I won't ever see her name in my email again.
This makes me smile. Both at not seeing the name again, and also for me being the "internet guru" but forgetting about how the "spam" button works.
I love technology.
