et tu, Amsterdam?

fascinating -- an emergent gender-neutral pronoun? (link from heron61)

Apparently I'm in need of fidgety, obsessive little projects. Now that I've finished the basic catalogging of my library, and reorganized all the quick calls in our Helpdesk database, I'm working on consolidating all the email from all my old emails accounts into my current account. Oy. I've cleared out the three that had the least built up. I'm slowly tackling two more that aren't too horrible. And then there's my main old hotmail account. More than a decade of email. And from what I can find, since it's really not in their interests to make it simple for me to abandon their service, there doesn't seem to be a simple way to do this, given that my main account now is also web-based (although if anyone has ideas, I'm certainly open to them!). I've forwarded about a thousand emails so far. I figure I've got at least three times that much left to do. I'm also being extra-obsessive about chronicling what I'm watching recently. I wonder where this is all coming from?

I also made my uber-To Do List today. "Catch up on LJ" is indeed on there.

*nod* It's a tricky issue in some ways. My frustration is that much of the problem is that the reason everyone goes there (and then misbehaves in concentrated numbers) is that the rest of us are behind on these kinds of policies, not because I think Amsterdam was wrong to take their approach. It creates a sort of scarce habitat while at the same time giving people who are traveling there a tendency to behave in the worst sort of ways because it feels like such a release of rules. Initially, that tends to cause a decent number of people to act like irresponsible, rude teenagers, I think.
