Listen up!

This has occured on more than one occasion lately. I swear, it's like I don't even make an impact sometimes. Why don't people listen? Why do I have to repeat things three, four or even five times for people to answer my questions? Why do I have to constantly repeat myself over and over again, even when I e-mail someone and it's all right there, laid out in front of them, wrapped up in a nice little package with a bow? I just want to scream at people:

IF YOU WOULD HAVE PAID ATTENTION TO BEGIN WITH, WE COULD HAVE SAVED BOTH OF US LOTS OF TIME, MONEY AND STRESS.

People, would you just listen? Please answer my question the first time I ask it. If you're not going to listen, please don't talk to me. And quit asking me the same question which I have already answered five times over!!

Here's a pretty bouquet from my garden for all of you who had to endure my previous rant:
















And could someone please tell me WHAT this creature is?

I feel the same way sometimes. It's like talking to a brickwall.

The flowers are so pretty! And the last one -- yeah no idea. But it's pretty cool.

LOL!! I love the change of pace in your post--like the sweet old lady next door smiling at my kids and telling them how pretty they are, then turning grumpy and saying "watch out for the dog shit, it's everywhere around here!" then sweetly smiling and walking off to enjoy the rest of her day---

; )

Ha! Ok. I KNOW i'm guilty of this. Maybe with you.. maybe not. I'm horrible. Sorry. I am emailing you my order.

The flowers are beautiful. I'm glad your hard work is paying off.

Brandi! That was SO not about you. That was about work stuff. People annoy me when I e-mail, call, fax them stuff that they want. Then they call me and ask me for it without checking their inbox, voicemail or fax. Then they never return my call regarding the original question they had. UGH!!!

Colabella said...

Haha! I was almost certain it wasn't about me. My comment was more of a warning. I am TOTALLY that way, not on purpose. Always feel free to yell at me though :) Just ask Ab, that is just how you have to get things done with me :)
