E-mail can be hard to find, no?

For my formal request for a bachelor’s in History I needed to hand in my thesis via e-mail. I asked to make sure if I needed to include anything special with that, such as a subject line prefix, so they would be able to find it later on. The friendly lady on the phone told me that was unnecessary.

Two days later when I came into their office to hand over all other paperwork I had to wait fifteen minutes before they had found my thesis from their grand central inbox. “We get a lot of e-mail every day, you know. It’s can be hard to keep track of it all.” No shit.
