I thought text made life simpler
The following is a real text conversation with my husband. He is working, I am at home working on stuff for The Helping House. Commentary in italics.
D: What's up?
A: working. u?
D: Working too. What you workin on? Looks like I will prob b off tomorrow.
A. email followups. on hold w irs for 20 mins! what time u off tonight?
D: Prob 6
(At this point, I let the conversation drop. I know Daniel doesn't have the stamina to text for long periods of time, and I need to get back to listening to blaring IRS hold music.)
D: How has your day been? (He wasn't ready to let go.)
A: good. long nap w/ k this morning :)
A: no grant, no students (These are the two things I am waiting on every day - news about a grant and new student applications.)
D: ?
A: no good news today. u have to get better at interpreting text, sheesh.
D: What do you mean no students? (Really?)
A: new students (Meaning, NO NEW STUDENTS TODAY, JUNE 18th, 2008)
A: I haven't brushed my teeth yet today. (Change of subject. Hopeful?)
D: Nice. So did you get a new student? (SERIOUSLY!!!)
A: no new students!
D: so you didn't get the grant or no news on the grant? did u get debit card fixed? (Note to self: Don't fall prey to texting with Daniel. He monopolizes time and wants narratives on everything.)
A: no news on the grant, debit card fixed.
D: k
A: this is exhausting. i need some whoppers. (I am just telling the truth. I am a stress eater. Not that I eat stress, but I eat when I am stressed. See!? I can't stop explaining myself. He makes me do it!)
D: what is exhausting? (Here we go.... Don't fall into his trap... Don't do it! Don't...)
A: texting with you! (Ahhhh! I couldn't help it.)
D: well, fine! bye!
And that is why I am sure we will be discussing text etiquette this evening when he gets off work. Again, monopolizing my time. *sigh*
