Remember how I was having problems with my e-mail? Well, since my message-eating troll search came up empty, I contacted my web hosting people. I’d love to say my problem is solved, but I’m really not sure if it is or not.
I got a response from the web hosting peeps. It included words like ‘convenience’ and ’satisfaction’ and stuff like that. But here’s what it said, in basic terms:
Yo,
We got your complaint and we’re sorry to have to deal with this. We’re even sorry it screwed your day up.
It sounds to us like you can’t get your e-mail. Well, do you even remember how to check it? Probably not. So, I’ll walk you through it step by step. I’m putting it in writing here so you can refer back in case you forget again.
1. Log into your account.
2. Click the link.
I think this is probably the problem because I sent you an e-mail from another account and you got it. Check your mail. Seriously, it’s there. Just go look.
So, I guess, if there even was a problem in the first place, it’s solved now.
You should keep in mind that problems can happen for a few reasons: 1) we’re dorks, 2) you’re a dork, 3) your ISP is a dork. We’re pretty sure it’s not us and we’re really sorry you’re dumb. You can still contact us about your problems, though. Just give us some more detail, like, how to fix the problem.
We hope you’re happy now, because we’re really kind of tired of this.
Later.
They did exactly what I’d already done for myself - sent myself e-mail from another account and received it. Awesome! But what I’m really worried about is the e-mail I’m NOT getting. Sure, I’m getting some, just not ALL of it. I don’t know what to do about it and I’m freaking out.
So, to quiet the frantic voices in my head, I’m going to pass along to you all an alternate e-mail address (mymommysplace {at} gmail.com). This way, if you have something super important to communicate directly to me and my regular e-mail isn’t cutting it, hopefully we can hook up. I know this sounds like more work for you and I guess it really is. Sorry. I don’t know what else to say except, I’m working hard to hone my telepathy skills so we can just cut out the middle man for good, eventually.
We can even test my telepathic skills right now. Okay, let me focus. Alright. You…were expecting a post about sex when you read the title?
I don’t know. Maybe I need to work harder on that telepathy. Or do I?

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
Dude, your telepathy was spot on.
I think we’ve found yet another way for you to financially contribute to your family…
Whoa, that’s almost creepy becuase that was exactly what I was expecting. Maybe you are telepathic… or maybe we, your readers, are all just predictable perverts…
I sent you two emails the other day…didja get them? And I didn’t read the title before I read the post, so darn it, I dunno if I would have thought that or not. But, I’m sure your telepathic abilities are improving. Practice makes perfect!
Nothing like customer service…
Oh the JOYS of the all-mighty and more powerful than we could ever be, hosting service.
Maybe you should get them to send you 100 emails and see how many you *actually* get.
Service sucks! Yahoo? Reminds me of the time, I called in about something and they me to make sure I have the pc plugged into the outlet.
Leslie,
I was gone all day and all night last night, just now figuring out that my emails are going to hell, with your server.
I’ve been sending and sending all the info you needed for my lovely buckeyes
What can I do to make this up to you? I wha-wha-wha-aaaaa-nt my buckeyes!!
Waaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
I always have issues. LOL.
I sent you this long email filled with brilliant and pithy. ..oh wait, I just thought about doing that. You felt it, right? And yes, I was hoping for a post about someone getting blown.
