1. My epic journey began late last night after work, with an inbox bursting full of not-yet-answered emails, delayed tasks, and uncompleted drafts.

2. But after only an hour of work, I had my inbox down to 25 emails and was really hitting my stride.

3. Sadly... pride cometh before the fall.
With 15 emails left, I was at the hot burning core of my ignored inbox. These were the emails that demanded the most from me. Work memos, event planning, that happy birthday e-card I'd been meaning to send my ma.

4. Two whole hours passed and I only made it through five more emails. My inbox was winning.
Faltering with just 10 emails left my inbox's got me like http://t.co/cLyYp37AnL
5. But wait! Encouragement came in the form of a co-worker who was also up wasting time on Twitter— I mean trying to go through work emails.
@IsaacFitzgerald this is a fucking twitter masterpiece BRAVO
6. Alas, I was too proud to accept my co-worker's kind words. The shame poured from my eyes.
@alixmcalpine Thanks, Alix, but with ten (now eleven because someone just wrote me) emails left I am no Ninja Gaiden. http://t.co/yrPZ2zoEWj
7. Sensing weakness, my co-worker revealed her nefarious intentions, exposing herself as an agent of my evil inbox.
@IsaacFitzgerald brb gonna write you so many emails
8. Thus perfectly ending the Ninja Gaiden Inbox Saga.
@alixmcalpine You... you have no idea how well you just completed this Ninja Gaiden Twitter Play, Alix. Goodnight... http://t.co/WTJ8pjceqP
9. In conclusion, stay on top of your work emails, folks.
10. When I left the office, I discovered that my bike handles had been stolen.
Looked at the air where my stolen bike handles should be & then at the low # of emails in my inbox & muttered "worth it" as I hailed a cab..
