So Sue Me

One of the inherent implications of our instant access-society is that ppl expect you to be, well, instantly accessible.

Thanks to facebook, twitter and texting you can contact someone literally at any time. But keep in mind, that doesn't mean they'll available to answer you "at any time."

There are legitimate times when someone may not be able to reply to you.

They include but are not limited to:
being at church, attending a meeting or conference, sitting on the toilet, working on an intensive project, being baptized, going out on a date, taking granny to the doctor, standing in the shower, spending quality time with a friend or family member, getting arrested, driving in a city that doesn't allow TWD. Maybe one saw you and made a mental note to chat at a more convenient time. Maybe they became distracted. Maybe they had facebook or twitter open while they were browsing other sites. That doesn't qualify as ignoring you.

It happens, right?

Don't take it so personal.
