Last night, I set the alarm clock on my crackberry... It's how I wake up every morning. After the alarm goes off in the morning, I usually turn it off and check email ... Remember, I am a geek!
As I was setting the alarm, I checked email. I read an email from a student who is annoying and whiny (all the time not just in the email, but she was in fine-form in the email--I believe she accused me of ruining her life, or close to it). She wanted me to review something she'd sent me at 10 pm Monday. It was 11:30 pm Tuesday. I hadn't yet gotten to it. I had read it, but I really wasn't sure what to say to her. She's difficult to communicate via email (she freaks out if I say anything that is remotely critical, even if it's constructive), and I had decided earlier it would be easier to talk with her in class today.
After I got the (annoying) email at 11:30, I decided I'd go ahead and reply. I put the crackberry down and got on the computer. I checked email and the message from her wasn't there. I went back to the crackberry and it wasn't there. I checked email through the web interface instead of through my email client. Nope, nada. I searched and searched... Nowhere to be found....
I went ahead and replied to the email she'd sent the day before, and gave her some feedback. But what happened to the annoying email????
Did I dream the email? Did a higher power delete it because it was so annoying and whiny? Was there a terrible technical flux? What do you think happened? Help me here... Or tell me your unsolved email mysteries.
(Play twilight zone music....)

hmmmm? I've no idea. But interesting nonetheless. She sounds like a real piece of work!
