And That is Why I Didn't Call or Text

Tweet

I try to maintain friendships that I have established over the years by either calling them to talk on the phone, or sending a text. Lately it seems I have been so busy that I forget to call or text someone. I usually remember when I am rolling into bed. My head is clear and I can actually think for a minute. But, by then it is too late. Well, out of the blue, I got a phone call from one of my former coworkers, it was a person that I had been meaning to call or text and never managed to do so. We started off with the usual how have you been questions. Then she fell fast and hard on the big hoax and also her political views. She went on about how people are foolishly wearing masks and she is so sick of it. Then she asked me what I have been doing with my days. When I told her I have been making masks she fell silent for a minute. But, did that stop her, NO!!! She went on and on and gave me her point of view over and over again. I barely got a word in edge wise. She then asked if I wanted a part-time private duty job that would be in the evening. I quickly said NOPE!! The call was clearly to find out if I would like the job. Thankfully I got to cut the conversation off because Little Miss needed my attention. She said she would stay in touch. I told her that I would as well. But, I am doubtful I will often call or text. Sometimes, it is best to distance yourself from overbearing people. Less stress is best.
