Thursday, May 31, 2007 Bad Mood Dude, Fun with IM

Because I’m here, there and everywhere now that I’m unemployed, Phil is always trying to reach me during the day—via Yahoo IM, my cell, my home phone, email, Skype (until I left that nefarious position), and now iChat. I’m using iChat because a friend and I are collaborating on a new web business and it’s easiest to send files and bounce ideas.

Today, however, I thought I’d make it easy and went visible on Yahoo. Here’s the thing, though: when I go visible I always feel compelled to explain myself. I mean, it’s been at least a year since I’ve popped up, right? So I put in a new status message: “dropped my laptop, am exceedingly grumpy, backing up G5.”

Well, I haven’t heard from Phil yet, but the Blue Sloth found me.

Blue Sloth: “dropped your laptop...grumpy” ?

Blue Sloth: That’s your message?

Blue Sloth: And you expect anyone who knows you to come within five hundred yards of you?

Blue Sloth: Do you think we’re crazy?

Blue Sloth: Have a death wish. I’m suprised the keys don’t melt under you fingertips...........

Blue Sloth: *ducks and hides*

Blue Sloth: **and hides children**

Blue Sloth: ****and tries to think of place to hide your children****

So I responded:

themommyblog: that’s getting blogged
