BJ needs material to read at school
First and foremost, very happy birthday wishes go out to my newphew, Jay, who is one year old today in Korea by the solar/sidereal calender, but one year old tomorrow in the solar calender here. I think I have that right....? I have no idea what his Korean birthday is going to be, as I have yet to figure out the lunar calender. Anyway, he is going to be one year old, more or less within the next 24 hours.
Secondly, I wish to discuss my thorough distaste for away messages that,
1.) Provide a minute by minute, overly-detailed schedule of the person's events of the day. For example:
"Wake up at 7:30, take a shower, out of the shower by 7:45, put on my knickers by 8:00, eat a bowl comprised of approximate 6.3 ounces of Frosted Flakes with 1% Giant Eagle milk, etc...."
2.) Messages that have one event that is changed approximately ever 15 minutes to 1 hour. For example:
Message 1: "I am watching TV." Message 2: "I am picking my nose." Message 3: "I am eating dinner." Message 3: "I am washing the dishes." Message 4: "I am watching TV again."
I'm not sure if those guilty of items one and two have caught on that their away message readers don't actually care. Personally, I have found that more desirable away messages come in the form of music lyrics, inside (or outside) jokes, humorous or appropriate movie/TV show quotes that can be appropriated for current events yet do not tiredly list the events, and so on and so forth. These type of away messages make me giggle, or think "Shit, what the hell song is that?" or "What is that from?" etc., prompting an actual conversation with the away message putter-upper.
Thirdly, I must be terribly desperate to give BJ some sort of reading material while he is on his lunch break to go off on a tangent about away messages. I'm an idiot.
Basta! Ciao!
