Useful E-mail of the Day
I just received an e-mail at 2:22 pm called "FW: Seminar right now" about a seminar today that started at 2:15 pm. That's useful. Talk about an epic fail.
That's just a regular fail. Epic is when the email arrives after the event is over, ideally several hours after the end of the event. Yes, I have received such emails. :-) (For some reason, certain email lists take absurd amounts of time to process a message, so an email sent at 9am could well be received by some recipients as late as 2pm).
