Who's This?

I find it funny how some people, who believe that they're so incredible - and don't forget famous - that when it comes to phoning someone, automatically assumes the person they're calling knows who they are, so the person doesn't have to tell them who is calling and just launch right into what they're calling about. Then the person who is receiving the call is faced with a bit of an awkward moment and slight embarrassment because they need to ask who it is, and especially since the phone lines slightly distort peoples' voices, so they can carry on the conversation. The last time I faced such a situation was on the receiving side (that's what she said) a while ago. I don't recall ever being on the side that does the calling and never telling my name. I'm not usually the most confident person while speaking over the phone, because, let's face it, not too many people my age actually get up to phone people when their peers are usually on the internet. Haha. It is kind of weird though, because you'd think people are more confident over the phone than face to face. But then again, I can't say I'm all that confident face to face either.

Well anyways, I came across a few situations recently that made me come to this topic. There really isn't a point to it, but that's okay. The phrase "that's okay" seems to be my two favorite words of recent past. I find myself saying it quite a bit. Haha. And, for your information - one person in particular - this topic of phoning someone without telling them who you are, has nothing to do with the phone that woke me up Monday morning. ;)

My thumbs are quite painful and sore, hopefully it doesn't affect my guitar playing too much.
