Does hand writing something on a scrap of paper and holding it in a photo you then post onto social media have more of an impact than just typing the damn message on said social media outlet? It seems ridiculously inefficient to me. I began seeing these photos littering the Internet as the Occupy movement began. Maybe it existed before but I hadn't noticed. Ending a rambling rant with a percentage number also rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the analyst in me. Are these photos a way to make Facebook more "real" or do they exist as a way to identify people who have too much spare time to waste on insignificant meanderings?
Why, oh why, do you ask me to do something you then proceed to complete yourself without withdrawing your request? If you want to race to see who can finish first just say so and we can have some fun with it. If you're just inefficient than please tell me why you insist on taking me down with you? Also, please tell me if this is a "skill" I must learn to earn a paycheck as big as yours.
On the same track, why do you give me false deadlines for projects? Do you realize how this affects the list of other "urgent" priorities you have given to me? I am guessing you are not aware that you are doing this. Self awareness is important. There are many books that are helpful guides. I also recommend meditation.
In the time it takes you to call me/email me/text me the directions for a simple request you could have done it yourself. Just sayin'.
Doing something nice for someone takes the same amount of time it takes to do something out of spite and the power of positivity lingers with you. i.e. putting $20 in the red kettle versus keying the dumb bitch's car who took your parking spot. Karma, juju, vibes... Be good. Santa is watching. Do it for yourself if for no one else.
I'd love to hear your experiences with inefficiencies with humankind. Let it all out. It feels good.
