Live--100 Words



Live.

Someone called and said, “I didn’t expect to get you live.”

The options immediately went through my brain. Did they expect to catch me dead? Did they think someone else would answer? Were they hoping I wouldn’t answer the phone?

Oh. I get it. They expected my voice mail to pick up.

No one ever calls me. Really. Honest, they don’t. Well, other than my wife. Most people email or send a note on Facebook.

Is that wrong? Are we hiding behind technology? Or, do we just want printed proof of what we talked about?

What do you think?

  3. It's a time issue for me. I can converse when I have time. If I get interrupted, I can come back and pick up where I left off. I don't have to say "excuse me, so and so, my 3 year old wants to eat candy for lunch and i must stop him" and then come back lost b/c I can't recall what we were talking about. I just typed on FB that if it wasn't for the social networking options avail to me these past 6 months I would have lost my mind. I am sincere. Having that adult connection when I've needed it is a very good thing. At least, to me.
