Phone Calls

I’m bad with picking up calls, and calling back when I missed a call. I like to multi-task and talking on the phone makes that extremely difficult. First of all, I can only use one hand. I don’t like putting people on speaker so the world can hear our conversation, and the shoulder thing hurts after a while. I can’t take my time responding because it’s rude, and I can’t ignore what the person is saying and refer to it later like in a text. It’s also sooo time consuming. They call to ask one thing and then go off on this huge rant. Sure I’m enjoying the conversation but I would have preferred to have it at a different time when I’m not trying to finish my work or trying to sleep.

Of course there are times when all I want to do is talk on the phone for hours catching up with my friends. But once classes start I don’t really have time for much of that. If you call anytime before 7pm I’m probably in class, at work, or doing something for class.

If you want to have one of those let’s vent and distract ourselves from our responsibilities convos that’s fine. Text me, I’ll be more than happy to talk while I do my hw. Email is always good too for catching up. DON’T call to respond to an email. REPLY ! The button exists for a reason.

I think there’s very little that can’t be resolved through text/email and what can’t should probably be discussed in person. Besides we don’t all have unlimited minutes..just saying.
