Why is it when some people call your cell phone and you don't answer, they don't leave a message but proceed to call you again every 5 minutes afterwards? If I didn't answer the phone then obviously I'm busy and can't get to you right now! Some people just don't have any patience!

It's because most businesses (because I think you mean clients) just don't return calls! That wouldn't be yours, though... particularly not now... I wouldn't think... If it's about personal calls, it's a good time for the callers now; when you return the call, it's good time for you, but maybe not for them.

That's the downside to all this technology--some people expect you to be available 24/7 and act like every encounter is top priority.

I guess it's true but this guy (client) was already on his way here. I was on another line so I couldn't get to him. He just wanted to ask me "pre-arrival" questions. He actually showed up while I was still on the phone and his questions weren't of the emergency nature.

What was that movie with Drew Barrymore where she said, "Now, you get rejected by 6 different methods of technologies."

ETA: Oh, it was the movie, "He's just not into you."

The girl in the pharmacy went and got her car to give my battery a jump and I was standing there and noticed that hanging from her rearview mirror were these small version of Eeyore and Tigger. I just started laughing.

I always carry a Jump Start Power Pack similar to this one

but mine has a bigger battery & it cost $50 at the time.

I think if I am to look for trouble, I'd still stick to less "technological" men - aka OLDER!
