Day 3: I Am Alarmed By My Mobile Phone

On my new mobile telephone there is a set of text message templates. Things like "I am in a meeting, call me later" and "I will be late, see you at ...". Fair enough, even though entirely irrelevant to me because I don't intend to have a meeting ever again, at least not one with 16 people in the room and only one person talking. (I like the idea of meetings that you have standing up that last no more than 15 minutes, and that have Custard Creams in them, or cake.) And no meeting should be so important that you can't take a call from someone you like telling you stuff that you want to hear.

Anyway, there's one that just says: "I love you too". It reminded me that work can do that; that it can mean that you're so busy (or lazy) that you have to use a text message template to tell someone something important. On the other hand, it could just be there for teenage lotharios to keep their 'bitches warm'. (Genuine expression, heard on the 159 bus.)

Alarmed by your mobile phone? Can't find your reading glasses? Do the boys on TOTP look like girls to you? Do you really need that moist bathroom tissue?

It's all right, dear. Time for your Milo and bourbon biscuit.

Dear Roxy

Thank you for your kind words.

If I am wise, it's by accident.
