Too much communication
« on: January 27, 2013, 05:34:24 PM »
OK, I have two phones for calls and one also gets texts. Then there are the e mails  evil:

I realise that I dread the pings, pongs, bongs and rings which accompany incoming.

Why? Because I realise the majority are either shite or worse: bad news, deaths, people wanting money, people wanting me to do things I don't want to do, people not doing as I tell them etc. etc.

I can't recall the last time any of these sound effects brought any good news to be honest  noooo:

Getting a bit phone phobic tbqh

I know what you mean.
About 95% of my emails are crap, mainly from companies I bought from before Christmas ~ I am unsubscribing from them as they come in.
I even dread the postman who brings nothing but bills and shite.

Unless I really want to hear it I have phones on silent.  Even when at work I keep the work one on silent.  I rarely answer straight away unless it is one of the children.  The work one is switched off when I am not in work.  If anyone really wants to talk to me they will find a way.  My Boss tends to text my private mobile if he wants me to know something immediately.  It is merely that you have to train people in communicating with you in a way that you want them too.  I prefer emails cos then the person who wants to talk to you have had to at least thought about what they have to say to you and then they don't waste my time.   redface:

It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

My pet hate are those who email me and then phone ten minutes later because I haven't replied immediately. All in good time is the standard reply.


Almost as annoying are those who text and want instant response .... I am at home most of the time and when I am why the fvck should I carry the mobile?
