A bit of venting...
When I left New York, I was very upset, I was leaving all my friends, and my family and my much loved cats behind. The people I worked with on a daily basis I missed and cried over. My true friends I tried to not look into their eyes or I would have been bawling upon our goodbyes. Over the past 2 months tomorrow, I have noticed only 2 of my friends have made any kind of effort to make and keep contact, one has made a half attempt which fails miserably with today's technology. While at work I can keep Facebook open, I just don't have time to start conversations as I am working. I can, when messaged respond and have a conversation, but not many have taken the step to say "hey". It kinda hurts, especially when these same people tell other people how much they miss me. Really? You miss me? What kind of effort are you making to contact me? People who don't work expect me to contact them on my Saturday morning? I work five days a week, 9-5 and I am technically a newlywed and the two of us are still in that phase, plus Friday nights we like going out, to go bowling, out to eat, play some pool and go out for drinks or just snuggle in and watch a movie, thereby going to bed way after 1am. We wake up Monday thru Friday at 7, and believe you me, I am so not in the mood to get up that early on my weekend. I miss my friends, I love my husband but sometimes you need that female friend, the ones that know what you like, the ones that find the odd things funny as you do. I miss that. Most of all, I miss my daily or semi-daily chats with Barbara and Laura.

I hear you girl!! I miss bbming or texting!! Skype mobile doesn't save my messages and whenever I want to tell you something, I have to message you right away or I'll forget. I miss dialing 212 and just telling you something quick.It's an adjustment right now, but eventually it will be a routine. I still secretly hope that you both will move back to the states!! At least to California!!I know that is the LAST thing you want to do after the ordeal you had packing all your belongs for a 3 month cruise!!
ReplyDeleteI guess with some people it's out of sight, out of mind. When they see me, they remember you and ask how you are doing.
I get it. How hard is it, in between playing games online, to send a quick e-mail? Most everyone has a computer at home. Most people are on Facebook, almost everyday. Do they not realize that they can send you a Facebook message? I don't know. People are just self-absorbed. Anyway, I always try to talk to you virtually daily because that is what we did at work and I do miss that. Keep posting! I'll keep reading and replying! Barbara
You're the best! :)
DeleteAaaww!! Too sweet!! Do you check your Dolce e-mail? I try to spread messages around. If I'm not on Facebook, I'll send to Dolce. Anyway, today is Monday Memeorial Day. You are working. Well, right now you are probably sleeping. LOL. I just had six days off and it was WONDERFUL!! Back to the grind tomorrow! Barbara
