The Pooka Life

There's a ghost in my inbox.

I'll be working along, deep in my own little world, when up pops a message box. New mail has arrived. Would you like to read it now? I've decided that my inbox ghost is very sneaky. He only sends me mail when he knows I am on a roll and I will click "no" and get back to my deep thought. Here's the mysterious part. When I head back to my inbox to read the new message, it's gone. That's right, gone. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

Lately, I've gotten wise. I try to catch him at his own game. When I see that little box, I hit "Yes", cackling quietly to myself. Mostly, it's just spam or some lame joke that pops up. But this last time, I think I caught him in the act because I hit yes and was told that the message had been moved and was no longer available. Hmmmm. Not only can he send me messages but he can move them around my mail box.

I'm going to stake out my inbox tonight. Just me, a flashlight and a bag of oreos. You want new mail, I'll show you new mail.....
