so as you can see, i am extremely good at following my plan. the list above... the first one, not the second one, was an actual list i made for myself to do and follow. but, it didn't get done, not even half of it (because i obviously love doing jobs half done.. LOL). tomorrow might be better, but maybe not. i am an expert at finding other things to do. i could, however, use a little work on my stick-to-itive-ness.... maybe later.

4 days is unacceptable.

frustration sets in when i call someone, and they do not call me back within 24 hours. i feel like that is an adequate time period to be able to check a phone and be able to somehow communicate wether this is via text message, facebook, or an actual phone call. i get extremely upset when 48 hours has passed, and anymore than 4 days is unacceptable. recently, people have not been returning my phone calls. not sure why... maybe because they are busy, maybe because they don't want to talk, maybe because they didn't get the call, although i do think it's a little bizarre that like 5 people who i have been trying actively to get a hold of are all NOT getting back to me. ughhh!! maybe the phone company secretly hates me and does not save messages from my phone, so in actuality it's my fault for calling the person when they are busy because they #1 cannot pick up the phone, and #2 they have no idea i called because their phone deleted my calls. maybe these scenarios hold truth, but probably not. moral of the story. return phone calls- even if you don't want to talk to the person. the conversation does not have to be long, it does not have to be involved, it does not really even have to be sincere, but call them back. it's polite, and it's the right thing to do.
