Moving Along

Hah! My patience finally paid off on this one! My first post for the New Year!

Hmn, after a week of working in a night shift, I've found out that it's not so tiring after all...In fact, I find it more enjoyable than working in day time. The only disadvantage is my reduced social life which has become limited among my officemates. No regrets though. I find my present work as fulfilling as when I was a private eye. I'm actually, looking forward to our graduation from training...Oh, I do have one regret...not being able to watch Anne Curtis in Maging Sino Ka Man and Janelle in Princess Hours.

I've recently received a text message from a friend telling me about her relationship problem. (Nothing new about that. They always fight over everything and nothing, then get back together eventually.) She even forwarded text message from her girlfriend which somehow gave me the impression that they've been fighting thru text...Gee, I never could understand how some people could get into fighting thru text messages. I find it peculiar, absurd even. Yep! Call me an old-fashioned, sentimental fool but I still believe that problems should be talked over personally, especially for those people involved in a relationship. I find it even more ingratiating for some people who have the nerve to break off thru text message! Those kind of people have no respect for others and doesn't consider their partner's feelings...In the five years that I've been in the private investigation business, I've learned that 90% of cases where errant spouses are found having an affair is thru text message. There are, of course, plenty of reasons why the affair was found out but the most common are (1) wrong send - this is when you send a right message to the wrong number; (2) wrong person - this is when you send right message to the right number but is read by the wrong person; and (3) non-erased message - this is when you keep a message in your inbox and is later read by the wrong person.

It is a saddening thought that the same technology that brought people together is the same people that brings them apart. Moral of the story? Nothing beats old fashioned interaction.
