I was once on the bus and the person ahead of me spent the entire trip - about 40 minutes - on the phone. They'd call one person, talk (saying, basically, they were on the bus on the way home), end the call, then call someone else and have more or less the same conversation. I don't understand it, but I'm old. And kind of a luddite.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Our wings are not tired.
My kids don't even call me because they know how much I dislike the phone. They text or message me. I get that it is efficient at times, but just not a fan. I'll talk to you F2F for hours, no problem.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Had a mammogram today. Took the day off in advance, since the appointment was at 10:20 and I didn't know how long it would take. As it turned out, they got me in and out pretty quickly, so I was done early. Went to the mall to buy a bathrobe(my current winter bathrobe has a hole in it, probably from years of a cat kneading it while in my lap.), window shopped and ate lunch.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I don't mind talking on the phone, but it needs to have a purpose. If the bank calls me about my card getting jacked, I will stay on the line with them as long as it takes to get worked out. If my cousin calls about a health issue, or my niece wants to talk about her baby, I'm there for it. But "Hi. Watcha doing? Not much, you?" ad infinitum is a solid no for me.

Got a phone call coming up with the company I had a third interview with yesterday. Guess I'll find out how it went.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Smells like an offer to me!

Fingers crossed, Gud!
The last time I had a mammogram, the stickers they used to mark the physical dimensions and alignment of nipple et al had pastel flowers on them, which I found kind of... weird?

I'm fine talking on the phone, and I'm an extrovert, but...I don't know who would talk that long on the phone with me?! The only people I talk to on the phone are my parents and like, two friends. I could talk to my sister on the phone. But none of those people would stay on the phone for an hour!

Yep, it's an offer. Not too shabby either. Now to think about it.
