What's an agent's inbox like?

My brain is pretty burnt out this week from dealing with all sorts of house-buying issues as we stumble and fumble our way towards closing--which seems likely to be pushed back a week or two...again. Yeah, trying to buy our first house. Everyone who uses the term "roller-coaster" to describe the experience should be hamstrung for severe under-exaggeration.

Anyways, I looked around for something that might even remotely equate to what its like to be constantly dealing with appraisers, lenders, underwriters and others the occasional pedestrian who doesn't seem to have any concept of common courtesy. Lo and behold, I found this article by The Rejectionist.

In all of the publishing industry, what could be more of a bumpy ride than slogging through hundreds of thousands of novel queries each week? As a writer, I understand that we often feel rejections are personal and direct attacks against our literary genius, but just try to get a grasp on what agents have to deal with on a daily basis and it might help with our perspective. Do read and enjoy and sympathize.
