Well, it turns out it was not 60 messages to send, but only about 50. Less really at least four people were ones that I could easily group with someone else, or in one case I’m hoping I grouped them correctly. I also had five or six that I was unable to find e-mail addresses for, so those will have to wait a bit. Hopefully I’ll be able to send those out this afternoon.
Time wise, I think I actually spent a bit over 4 hours assembling what I did, and sending it off, so my estimate was not too far off. It may have been 5 hours though, if so, off by 25% which is a bit more than I like. Fortunately I was able to generate a template of an e-mail and then I pretty much copied in an e-mail address, and a schedule entry, and could hit send. I did add notes to a few messages, primarily to well known friends, but also to some of those where I was pretty sure I could get a 2 for 1 result.
Of course the sun is about to rise, I need to get some sleep, but first I think I’ll go for a run, then walk the pooches. I think they would appreciate getting outside in the cool morning air.
