I have reason to believe that we are psychically connected.

I had just typed up my indifference, tendered my resignation as to the position of your amanuensis. (Even if it was perhaps temporary.) I'd even hit send.

The recipient, of course, is not one with the authority to accept such a statement, nor make it official. But she is a secret-keeper, and that for the moment was good enough for me.

I'd been on hiatus, few words (if any) clicking onto my keyboard--beginning to wonder how long I could go without it, and whether I would miss it at all.

I should have known.

We are never on the same schedule. Our Outlooks never synch. That is the problem, and that is the solution. And by solution, I mean inspiration. Timing conflicts yield writing. Correlating itineraries would mean we'd have better things to do. In relation to each other.

I wouldn't have to write.

And you wouldn't have to lurk.

Which would be synergistic. Considering if I weren't writing you'd have nothing to read. And you wouldn't have the time nor inclination to read if we were actually doing what I'd been previously writing about.

We should try that sometime.

Have your people call my people. Maybe someday we'll actually end up with some face time.

  • I'm reading your mail. I thought you should know. Good luck with this.

    It's good to read you.

    Hello, Jill.

  • Oh, is that how you figured it out. Well, okay then.

    Silly me, making up crazy psychic stories. Neither Ockam nor his Razor would be very pleased with me.

  • We just met and you're dumping me already? Ouch. That hurt. I can't help that our Outlooks don't sync up. I hate Microsoft products. If you were truly psychic, you'd already know that!

    ;-)

  • Sounds like we have some catching up to do. An email is headed your way...sorry I've been incommuicado as of late. :)

  • This is a good way for you to get people to email soon. I will do that. :)

  • I don't know if I'm "in" enough for this to apply.

  • Kevin, I am certainly not dumping you!

    Don't worry, Kendra. If I were in Vegas, I wouldn't be emailing me, either. But I definitely would text message. ;)

    Wow, M.A. My intention with this post was *not* to guilt-trip all my newfound friends into emailing me, but I'll take it!

    As I just mentioned, Grunt, no guilt was intended. Well, some guilt, but it wasn't for general consumption. But if I were to send such a message, I would certainly consider you "in" enough to feel guilty for not paying attention to me! ;)

  • I'm pretty sure I wasn't meant to feel any guilt as I never get comments or emails from Jill. So ... I think I'm safe. :-) I guss sometimes it's better when you're out. "Can you hear me now?"

  • I think I passed lurking and now am stalking. Can't help it, you're addicting.
    ;)

  • I miss you too. Are you finished marking?

    By Anonymous peefer, At Thu Apr 27, 04:51:00 PM 2006  

  • Oh -J, as I am a contrary person by nature (as I am sure you would understand), it is against everything I stand for to be guilted by your comment. But I was planning to visit and say hello after my week from hell was over.

    Thank you, Elle! I am flattered.

    Peefer, I continue to miss you, though uh...it's hard to finish grading things that perhaps... uh... are currently... mmmm... not in the place where I maybe... uh... thought I had... uhhhh...

  • I'll admit it. I have no idea what you're talking about!

    By Blogger ChickyBabe, At Thu Apr 27, 07:32:00 PM 2006  

  • Then I really am in trouble. Because I figured you'd be the only one who knew what I was talking about.

    By Blogger Jill, At Thu Apr 27, 07:46:00 PM 2006  

  • I'm back after a strong coffee... and it makes perfect sense now.

    Considering if I weren't writing you'd have nothing to read. - I hear it loud and clear in Sydney.

  • I can change, baby! I can change. Just give me one more chance, pulease!!!

  • Sounds like you've built a post with all the buzz words I get in my daily mail. Synergistic, LOL; That one hits very close to the bone...

    By Blogger Faltenin, At Fri Apr 28, 05:25:00 AM 2006  

  • Jill, your hello's (I'm pretty sure that's incorrectly spelled) are always more than welcome, as are your comments, musings, and boughts of complete inspiration.
