email burden

My boss the new provost told me he spends 2 hours per day just opening his email and reading it. (After hearing that, I decided to communicate with him only in person, since he’s just down the corridor.)

I just spent 45 minutes myself responding just to the emails that came in while I was asleep, and there are still a few left.

But not to grumble here… most of the mail was really nice.
