Shouldn't people with cell phones keep them on and with them at all times?
Especially when I need to reach them?
Sorry, I'm a bit frustrated at the moment. Something I've been trying to wrap up for about a month now could be finished in ten minutes (and would need to be finished in ten minutes), but I don't know if it would be possible until I get that text. So while I wait, I'll rant.
Why is communication so difficult? Why do we act passive-aggressively, hoping the other person picks up on our subtle hints that are TOTALLY obvious that they need to clean up that mess? Why don't we say we don't like something when we don't like something?
I suppose some of it is being polite. But there's a line between being polite and being a pushover, and it seems that half of us are on the pushover side and the other half are all the way across, on the rude side. This is hardly ideal, if you ask me.
Does this mean we should all be rude and demand our own way all the time? Certainly not. We should either authentically find joy in allowing someone else to have their way or let them know we don't like it as winsomely as possible. I'm finding this to be especially applicable in dealing with roommates.
I never got that text back. Oh well. Let's hope things work out in the end. Thanks for letting me ramble.
Three random thoughts:
1. Another new blog! (Hooray!) Check out The War of the Words, a 64-word winner-take-all tournament of champions! (And don't forget Choose Your Own Blogventure!)
2. I'm so happy it's the weekend. I don't know why this week has been so stressful, but it sure has been. I'm hoping it isn't a trend... But it very well could be.
3. Sometimes life is just hard. That's not something you're going to get around. But I believe life is never unbearable.
