Lately I’ve been avoiding calls from my family. Seems everytime they call it’s because they need to complain about money or technology or work or whatever. Of course, once they are done they don’t bother to take the time to listen to me.

So, I’m on not call mode. Yes, to mom too.

I’m not asking for a lot. I’m a professional listener. I worked in restaurants for 15 years and help desk for another 3. It’s a must have skill, in my opinion, for both of those jobs. I just want my fair share of time with their ear, ya know?

Otherwise, you must get the new 311, Don’t Tread On Me. It’s simply fantastic!

   do you find it a little odd that nobody commented on the fact that you need someone to listen? In anycase I am in a great mood and I am prepared to hear all of your laments with a caring ear.

   I wasn’t going to say anything…

   All readers of w(t)f are not included in the above rant, as they are all proper listeners. It’s everyone else!
