Chagrined
I was going back through my messages from early April looking for the Ballhype member who had asked where he could get a tshirt. I told him we didn’t have any yet but that once we did, I’d mail him one since he was the first to ask. (And now, thanks to the multi-talented Howie, we have a Ballhype tshirt store set up on Spreadshirt.com.) Well, while looking through my inbox, I found a message from another new member who offered to help us out. Here’s the terrible part - I had replied with my email address so that he could send me his resume, which he did, and then I never followed up! It was right when we got slammed with all of the post-launch activity, so I didn’t get to it right away and then it got buried. I gave up on filing my email in mid-April and as a result my inbox is now at 2338 items. Clearly unmanageable, so I will devote some time this weekend to getting it sorted out.
I’m not blaming this on anyone but myself, but part of the problem was that Jason and I were switching between laptop and desktop computers for a while, and when I worked on the laptop, I was using gmail. The thing I cannot stand about gmail is that there are no folders, so if the next work session was on the desktop, my inbox was out of control. And then the next time I’d check gmail, it was difficult to tell which emails I had already read or not.
Anyway, I emailed the guy tonight to apologize and see if he still wants to talk. It doesn’t appear that he’s been active on the site in a while, so my guess is he decided I was too flakey and/or rude. I wouldn’t blame him, but I do hope he gives me — and Ballhype — another chance.
