George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He rarely checked his work e-mail, so he missed a lot of memos about training for new equipment or work schedule changes.
He also never bothered to delete his email. His inbox used up a lot of storage, and the ship’s quartermaster got on George about needing to clear up some space.
So, George created a rule to just automatically delete everything that landed in his inbox.
He still missed training session and work schedule changes, but at least the quartermaster was off of his back about meaningless shit.
