Here at Cosmic Variance we occasionally grant the gawking masses a brief glimpse into the glamorous and sexy world of the professional physicist. So, for those of you keeping score at home, I just did a quick count: in the last 24 hours I have sent 35 emails. Sadly, I have received 54 emails, so it looks like I'm still falling behind. (No, this doesn't include spam -- I usually get between 100 and 150 of those per day, but I do have a very good spam filter.) Update: sorry, in counting messages received I only accounted for those I had either answered or saved, not those I had simply deleted. So, add another 31 messages, for a total of 85 non-spam messages received.
