Do you pretend?

What is more frustrating than trying to get ahold of someone and not connecting? I don't know of much else...wanting to be there with someone, to share, to laugh; and then not being able to because phones cut out, you are at a meeting, and your return calls are directed to message machine.

And you find yourself frustrated with the situation and trying not to be frustrated with the other person, because it's not their fault, it's not your fault. So...you blame the stars, the universe, and the phone companies.

Thank goodness for those large coporate beings that can shoulder the blame with little qualm about if it is fair or not.

Because if I dig deeply into my frustration...it might find a face, a name, and I might say things I regret later. It might cause things to come out that I'd rather pretend weren't there.
