Have you noticed the trend of people calling you when they've got time to kill? It's folks who call on their Bluetooth from their car, or while walking between stores in the mall, or waiting in line somewhere or for an appointment. They've got nothing better to do--time to kill--, so...they call YOU! Of course you may be actually doing something relatively important, but you stop to talk because, well, they are your friends, no? The TTK's usually come while you are doing things that don't especially lend themselves to TTKing, but that doesn't matter to the callers, cause they do have TTK. The only time TTK calls work is when someone calls someone else and they are both in the TTK Zone, driving or waiting in line or sitting in a bathtub or whatever. Serendipity! What I want is for the brilliant people at Apple to provide an "app" for that! Screen out the callers who, friends or not, are calling for no reason whatsoever whenever, because they have TTK, while I am doing non-TTK extremely important stuff. Like writing this blog post. (-:

Call Wasting (i.e. TTK's)

Driving is not "TTK time." It demands full attention, if nothing else than to watch out for police filling their ticket quotas.
ReplyDeleteWhere the hell did you find that pic?! (Please tell me you don't know her... or perhaps more importantly, that you didn't take it!) *LOL*
ReplyDeleteWhen I have time to kill... I try to be either out in the woods, up in the mountains, near the river or getting the Jeep stuck somewhere remote.
Had to go looking for a @#*$&! dog that ran away while I was hiking near the former site of an historical mill, now destroyed by fire.
That was time to kill... time to kill the !@*%& dog! Fortunately (I think), I found him today. He's been strangely quiet today, hasn't eaten or drunk.
It makes me wonder if he's thinking about his sins.
