Email archaeology

Reviewing and answering fossil emails, senders of which have long lost any hope of getting a response. Usually done when bored to the extent of taking time to clean the inbox.

- Thank you.
- What's up bro? You answered an email from 3 years ago. Are you into email archaeology?
- Yeah, I got inspired by Jordan Peterson to make order in my bedroom, and went on to desktop icons and now the inbox.

- Put your mind in order first.

Tab equilibrium

Living a life on the edge of all tab icons disappearing from too many open tabs.

paperless work

Bureaucratic work of the new era that does not involve paper, as opposed to paperwork, popular before invention of the paperless office.

First used in Futurama in the episode about the movie Minority Report.

From Futurama:
“Ain’t you headin’ home, Phil?”

“In a minute. I just wanna finish this paperless work.” – Fry

I've outsourced the data entry to oDesk, because it is such a tedious paperless work.
