wow has it really been . . .

so long between posts. Goodness no wonder why I have no followers...to much time in between entertaining blogs...oh well.

So what shall we discuss - or what shall I rant about today - either way you, the blog reader, are going to be subject to my whim - unless of course you click on to the next blog, but you'll be sorry if you do that....you'll miss what ever snarky comments I have to make today.

I think I shall ponder this - why is it that people will call, trying to get a hold of you - an assumption on my part, but if they are calling does that not in essence mean they want to speak to you? - and when you don't answer - for whatever reason IE screening, busy, bathroom...whatever - why, do they not leave a message?

I find that this happens most often with men. Men will call, but they won't speak to the machine. If you don't answer they don't leave a message. Generally, I would say okay and leave it at that. But here's where my issue comes into play. When I have missed said call, and no message has been left, then I don't - generally - call back.

Now there are exceptions, the elderly, the challenged, the child - those I will call back whether they leave a message or not because I know that if they don't get me on one number they will continue to cycle through the list of numbers that they have for me until they reach me, and will eventually figure I'm dead in a ditch if I'm not answering their call, they will panic -police will then be called and chaos will reign (okay so maybe not that drastic but you other moms/daughters know what I mean). So, I try to save them the trouble and call them back.

But when an able bodied person - males, mostly but let's not be sexist I suppose women do it too - chooses to call me and not leave a message AND THEN give me grief for not calling them back, well that folks is where my rant lies, lays, lies...whatever.

If you can't be bothered to leave me a message, I can't be bothered to call you back. Harsh, cruel even, but the truth. For the most part anyway.

Thank you for reading, as always comment or don't it's up to you - but banter is always accepted.
