Jeg modtog en mail i 1998, som jeg ikke fik besvaret og stadig tænker på.
No, academics do not "forget" to answer emails. They remember and feel bad about them, the guilt slowly building up, until the only way out is to fake their own death and move far, far away under a different identity to build a new life, a better one, with inbox zero and no shame
Anyways, I owe you an email.
![[a man and woman are in a public library, discussing a homeless person, sitting at a table in the background] Man: There's some guy over there stealing electricity. Woman: He's not stealing. Man: He's not paying for it! Woman: Our library is open to the <br />public. That includes the outlets. Man: So I can plug in my laptop? My space heater? My hair dryer? Woman: Everything but the dryer. That would be too loud. Homeless person: If you're looking for a place to dry your hair, I'd suggest the bathroom. They <br />never know what's going on in there.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/110/840/045/173/126/444/original/a1ebee7dd29c1cbe.jpeg "[a man and woman are in a public library, discussing a homeless person, sitting at a table in the background] Man: There's some guy over there stealing electricity.
