I've found that the combination of long/late work days and living in NYC in such a high-tech time results in much of my interaction with people taking place online. In fact, I get annoyed when people request something at work in person or over the phone (especially if it's very specific or a list of things... give me a damn email to reference!).
The convenience of technology occasionally causes problems for/around me. Just to give you an idea of what I go through on the social front, the following is a conversation I had on AIM (I'm in grey) a few days ago. In. Its. Entirety.
??!
I'm still not going. Because I don't know anything about the cruise. Thanks.
Additionally, the following thread, involving 3 people I know, is one of the first things I saw on Facebook one morning.
Wow. Person 1 left a status message, person 2 responded, person 3 responded to the status message, and person 2 went off on person 3. Notice the timestamps. Fueled by alcohol on a school night (they're all grown-ass men)? Who knows.
PS, what made this even funnier is that the guy getting bitched out defriended me recently on Facebook sans confrontation or explanation. Not sure how we met him, but he started showing up everywhere. And he annoyed the shit out of me (not saying anything bad about him; some people's personalities just aren't compatible). I guess I threw him more shade than I realized. Oops! I just wish I knew what I did: I'm sure there will be another time when this technique comes in handy.
