I had dozens of profs who got HUNDREDS of e-mails per day.
I had one prof who insisted that all assignments be handed in electronically, then penalized me for not handing in an assignment. I went to his office personally:
Me: I am sorry, sir, but I handed in that assignment on time and complete. Is there some way that you, or the server connection, misplaced it?
Prof: Let me look... (types in Ben's name under the search e-mail command)... (Ben's assignment pops up on the screen) Oh, sorry, my mistake.
This guy had like 900 unread e-mails. He had filters on that immediately deleted all e-mails marked "Urgent" or "High Importance" and refused to accept anything from free e-mail account servers. He still had over 900 e-mails,
from colleagues
and students,
and grad students,
and international students
and seminars he had registered for,
and journals that he was trying to publish to,
and journals that he helped edit,
WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY: Dude, you got lost in the shuffle. Give him a call.
