Snail vs eMail

There is only really one moment each day when I get my hopes up, only to have them dashed, regarding snail mail queries. That instance occurs when I walk to the mailbox each afternoon. With some degree of trepidation mixed with expectation I look in the little grey box for my SASE's.

e-Queries are far more insidious. I find myself constantly checking my email to see if I have gotten any mail. It's minor shots of depression stretched out throughout the day. Makes for a very long day.

It is for this reason that I am overwhelmingly happy that I decided to send more snail mail than email queries. At least with snail you get a response and the heart rending only occurs once a day.
