Dumped? Err...what now?
I had a text off Caz today. I quote it verbatim:HI TIM, TIM DO YOU THINK FAIR ON ME? I HAVE SEEN YOU FOR OVEN TWO WEEKS NOW AND ALL I SEEN TO GET HIS YOUR ANSWER PHONE ITS HIS OVEN BETWEEN US TWO CAUSE SICK WAY YOU ARE TREAT ME. DO NOT TEXT BACK OR PHONE.
Now, like you, I had no clue what that meant. The last sentence kinda translates the gist of it to "you're dumped." I think. If it is...errr..hang on one sec. This is someone I've been on three dates with. I didn't even realise we were 'together', let alone 'dumped.'
I would like to clear up one point here though, since I've complained about Caz a lot here, and I don't want anyone jumping to the wrong conclusion. I see technology as a great thing. However, technology is a device for convenience, not obligation. By that, I mean: My phone is there for my convenience, not for the convenience of those wishing to get hold of me. If it's not convenient for me to talk, no matter how trivial the reason, I won't answer. Now it doesn't matter whether I'm playing poker, in a meeting at work, socialising with friends, or just watching TV and can't be arsed to do anything else - if I'm happy with what I'm doing and can't be arsed to potentially change my plans, I just won't answer my phone, pure and simple. It worked 20 years ago, I don't see why things should be so different now. All my friends (Caz included) know it's better to text me than to call - I'll usually respond to texts, whereas missed calls I tend not to worry about.
Still, that saves me the trouble of dumping her at least, which is nice. I didn't reply to her text - she told me not to text, after all.
