the gray smiley had to go

20071Aug

I’ve got at least 30 people in my Yahoo Messenger contacts list. On a fine day, meaning, they actually go online and not too scared to hide behind the invisibility cloak, there are around 4 people with bright yellow smileys beside their names.

You know what, I will be deleting some contacts who are not in touch with me anymore. There are plenty of them and I just hate looking at their names in gray and I don’t like it that I am always the one to initiate a conversation. Whew, I’m just dead bored again today. Nothing much at work so better I go on sorting out my online stuffs. It’s almost time to go home and since I can’t read the HP book I have, I’ll delete the YM contacts (I’m sure they wouldn’t miss me anyway), delete old mails, save some, reply to some.

Do you retain all contacts in your email/chat list even if they have been inactive for weeks/years?

I don’t think I have anyone on my chat list seeing as I don’t really chat. However, my email list is super long. I don’t even remember who half these people are. hee hee

I check my email on a regular basis but I don’t go ‘online’. I can’t chat anymore. Email is more effective (I think) and very importantly, time flexible especially for me with my baby also wanting to type when I’m on the computer.

wow you must be bored!
I do sometimes delete my contacts, but it is rare. I would have to get onto my yahoo messenger first! I am a gray smiley most of the time too

I used to use messenger all the time, but I don’t anymore. It is so time-consuming. I would say you should delete them…but I am such a pack rat and it bubbles over to my yahoo and messages as well. I keep everything for so long – emails, yahoo ids, etc. I always think “well, SOMEDAY I might want to contact them.” Just for the record, I think keeping all that stuff is a bad idea. I just know its hard for me to get rid of stuff!

I don’t use messenger at all, so I don’t have that list, but it’s funny you mentioned that, because I went througn my email list LAST NIGHT and deleted sooooo many that I was amazed at the people who I haven’t heard from in a LONG time.
Now I wonder who’s fault that is, and I went to bed feeling guilty and didn’t sleep too well! :-)
