Topic: Communications
I'm tired of calling people and getting their answering service because they don't feel like answering the phone, and they'll just 'get back to whomever it is.' I mean, once in a while is understandable. But there's some people that I call that I get their answering service before there's a single ring, which means their phone's turned off. And I leave messages, but I usually don't get a reply. And I don't mean in the next 5 minutes, I mean in the next 5 days.
Look, doing that once in a while is fine, but every day? The message is "No matter why you're calling, whomever you are, neither you nor your reason are important enough for me to answer my phone. Leave a message, so I can ignore that too."
The alternative is that I'm such a loser, nobody wants to talk to me. This is a possibility too, so I'll spare everyone the agony and just stop calling. That'll make us both happier.
Of course, the next step is to stop communicating completely, including no longer posting to this 'blog. Which is fine, because I'm beginning to suspect that nobody reads this except my wife anyway, and I talk to her every day. There would be no huge loss.
Maybe I should just drop this. I'm tired of talking to myself; maybe I need to just shut the hell up and leave 'blogging to people that actually get read.
In fact, why bother posting this, even. Meh. I can either click 'back' or 'post.' Same number of clicks. Might as well post one last time.
Bye.
