Cause I'm not cryin' about it.
« on: January 22, 2009, 11:16:02 PM »
But I wanted to tell you all what happened to me yesterday.

It wasn't a good day.  We will just put it that way. But not for this reason.  This was actually the comic relief.

I was in the middle of trying to get my oldest on the bus for school - he was not having it.  He wanted to pick up all his papers first which took 20 bloody minutes. (the whole autism thing can really get tedious.  LOL)  So I get a text from a "friend" and it says this:

Her:  After much deliberation I have decided to end our friendship.  I think you ended it a long time ago.  I just can't compete with your blackberry.

WTF?  Seriously.  First of all NO ONE can compete with my blackberry, not even my husband!  LMAO...kay that's a joke.

But WHO in the RIGHT mind actually TALKS that way OUT LOUD to someone?

So I answer her

Me:  Wow.  I'm sorry you feel that way.  I'm not sure where you got that idea but if you feel that strongly about it, best of luck in all you do.

Her:  Good luck in all you do as well.

I have been "friends" with this girl for 2 years.  She has been out of town for the better part of 3 months and we have been slammed at work not to mention the service project that I help out with every year - we had over 100 families that we helped over Christmas.  The last time I had talked to her she did some manipulative I think you are mad at me backshit and I told her no that I was busy.  Then she text my husband nad told him that she thought I didn't like her anymore.

Yeah...so you can imagine how I was first laughing, then shaking my head over the immaturity of it all, and then laughing again.  I told a friend here about it and she kept saying, "There's no way she did that."  LOL 

So, after much deliberation...I think I am going to use that phrase!

This girl is friggin 30.

And she is NOT a liberal - I think someone needs to tell her she didn't pass the test she has to go to the other side now.

Kinda ironic that she did that by texting, which I assume you got on the blackberry...   :lmao:

I have a friend who can't keep herself from looking at her blackberry every time an email or message hits it.  It's pretty futile and aggravating to try to carry on a conversation with her in person, I must admit.  I still regard her as a friend, but a long-distance one, and I avoid doing anything with her socially since sooner or later I'd end up being treated like a piece of furniture while she was responding to something trivial that could wait at least until the end of the next sentence.

 :lmao:  That is what I was thinking.  And what's funnier is that I didn't reply for about an hour because I was dealing with morning madness.  Which completely negates her accusation.   :whatever:

What's a Blackberry?



j/k



 :-)


One of my pet peeves occurs when I'm talking with a person about business on company time. The phone rings and the first thing the person does is answer it.

What is it about communication devices that prompts that kind of behavior in people?  (Rhetorical question, because I know what causes it.)   :argh:

I know people don't mean to be rude, but in my mind, it's rude behavior to do that. At the least, the person can apologize for answering the phone if they're expecting an important call, but all too often, there's nothing said. They just answer the phone.

I've been known to walk out of offices when that happens.

Check.

LOL

Yeah I don't have time for it either which is why I didn't "beg" to be her friend.  You are the only one I beg for.   :naughty:

Yes pet peeve of mine as well.  If I am taking the bloody time to talk to you face to face the least you can do is not pick up the line.  isn't that was automated systems and "administrative assistants" are for?  :whatever:

 :cheersmate: Me too! H5 for having a no nonsense attitude. It drives me insane when people are rude with phones/texting/emails, etc...

The world got along just fine before all of these devices. What in the heck makes you think it's so gosh-darned important that you HAVE to interrupt the person you're talking to (who YOU asked to speak with BTW) so you can read a text or answer your cell? It boggles the mind...

I keep my cell phone turned off most of the time and I tell everyone to go jump in a lake. Call me at work during business hours if its that important. Call me at home after hours....is it that hard??

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
