    I'm cleaning out my gmail account, preparing to move data off of gmail
    and elsewhere. I've deleted over 10,000 emails, and counting!

    These are all shipping confirmations, newsletters I thought I'd read
    (but didn't), recipes (which I just look online for anyway) and more.

    There are a lot of resume submissions from when I was looking for work,
    and an interesting 2 adjacent emails from a recruiter.

    Email 1: Sorry, we weren't able to place you at XYZ company. They were
    looking for a different skillset (&tc.)

    Email 2: Do you know anyone else who would be a good fit for this or any
    of our other positions?

    Also found a couple of nasty recruiter ghostings - several emails spaced
    weeks apart with either a non-answer or no response.

    Maybe replacing recruiters with AI isn't such a bad idea.

    My wife works in HR (not recruiting) and says that if the recruiter
    doesn't call to check in on Friday, you're not getting the job.

    Sure enough, I thought back to all of my job offers, and the recruiter
    just called to "check in" before the weekend.

    Hello poindexter FORTRAN!

    I'm cleaning out my gmail account, preparing to move data off of gmail
    and elsewhere. I've deleted over 10,000 emails, and counting!

    These are all shipping confirmations, newsletters I thought I'd read
    (but didn't), recipes (which I just look online for anyway) and more.

    Are you exiting gmail entirely? ..or is this just a kindof
    house-cleaning?
