Hey Guys?

Please and Thank you. 

Hey guys?

1) Don’t assume that what do you want me to do is automatically important enough for me to stop driving, pull over, be late to my appointment and do what you ask me to because you don’t feel like doing it. Furthermore, don’t speak with a tone that says, “If you don’t drop what you’re doing and prioritize me you are clearly not being reasonable.” ESPECIALLY if you are not anyone I’m working on a project with. Please honor my own time, my agenda, my space, trust me to follow up with you and know that your emergency is not my problem.

2) Think about what your silence or lack of communication, even acknowledgement of communication implies about the worth of our relationship. Your abdication of the responsibility to communicate may be excused by society as many things, but I don’t have time nor energy anymore to figure out your psyche. That’s not my job.

3) Do not. DO NOT after giving a compliment and being genuinely thanked but told that I need to get back to work; sit down, continue to talk with me ignore the headphones in my ears, and then proceed to tell me I look “cute” while being “scholarly.”

Thanks.
