QA: Email

One of the coolthing about email is you can set it to know whether the recipient reads your email, delete after reading it and even know whether your email was deleted without being read.

For me, using these confirmations is rather mean, violates the rights of the email recipient. However, in certain occasions, this is the only way to know whether your important emails are being attended to.

Last year, during my vacation, I left the car key with the security guards. Not knowing to me somebody else was using my car. When I got back, I noticed the car was so dirty (October/November time is a cool season in Doha and sometimes rain) and the gas/petrol was at "E"mpty. Also, the key was handed to me without the key chain. This made me mad. The key chain was a gift from a colleague who went for vacation in Canada, and now, it's gone.

After questioning few people, I found out who was using the car. Although the person is in the same office with me, he is not on project base. So, I seldom seeing him. Hence, I sent email to him on November 21, 2006. Since then, I have forgotten about the email and got a new key chain - until this afternoon.......


My email stays in his mailbox for nine months..... I hate this person even more.... :-p
