Hello all. You know when you start something up with someone, but they don't follow through with their end? Or when you want to do something, and begin collaborating and then they suddenly disappear? Well that seems to be happening to me quite a bit lately. A good friend of mine and I were going to write a book, but her personal life got busy and she was unable to come through. The problem I have with it though, was that she knew it was going to get busy before she agreed. I just wish she would have thought it through before agreeing to anything. Even my brother did this to me recently.(however, that one is long and complicated and I'd like to keep that secret for now.) And then, there are those who are late responding to threads. I know I'm stepping on some toes right now, but I'm not trying to villainize anyone. I just wish to communicate my frustration. When you join a thread, but don't respond at least once a day, it bothers me. I realize that's completely insane and people have real lives and issues come up. However, that's why I don't make a big deal out of it. I mean, seriously, that's just a personal issue that I need to deal with. However, that's not what I'm really complaining about. It's when they don't respond for a week. Now, again, I realize life happens. However, it would be nice if they sent you a PM explaining that they wouldn't be posting for a while. I apologize if I'm being insensitive, I just wanted to blog something, and this was what came to the forefront of my mind. |
