Busy People

It’s been awhile since I posted a rant. I know you missed them. So - enjoy!

Don’t you dislike it when people tell you how busy they are?

Me - “Hey, how’s it going?”
Them - “Oh, I’m so busy!”

What they’re actually saying is “I’m busy because I’m doing important things”. I guess if they weren’t busy they wouldn’t be important, right? R-i-i-ght!

I invited a friend to lunch. He couldn’t meet me for three weeks because - he’s so busy! Three weeks? Like, you have a lunch booked everyday for three weeks? Maybe you eat too much!

Another friend texted me. “Let’s go for lunch”. Ya man! The next line of his text explains that he’s been very busy and - “I’ll let you know when I'm free,” he says. Swell. Get me excited about lunch then tell me how busy/important you are and make me wait. Nice.

I like those people who truly are - busy. I know they are. But they don’t tell me how busy they are. They don’t rush the conversation - I feel important to them.

Busy people have post-notes dangling off the end of their daytimer. I know a guy who really does that. “Dude - you are not THAT important!” (Actually he is - he just can’t control his schedule.)

When people talk about how busy they are - do you feel sorry for them coz they can’t slow down? Or do you feel like you’re not important enough to be part of their “busy” schedule?

Gotta sign off. I’m busy. Call me in two weeks. No. Make it three. I am SO BUSY!
