Rambling work emails get skipped initially (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aimless

'rambling' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'work emails get skipped initially' is the wordplay.
'work' indicates anagramming the letters.
'get' is an insertion indicator.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'skipped' is 's'.
'emails' with letters rearranged gives 'aimles'.
'aimles' placed around 's' is 'AIMLESS'.

(Other definitions for aimless that I've seen before include "With no plan or programme" , "Haphazard" , "Without objectives" , "Lacking a goal" , "Without purpose or target" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
