"Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships." - Stephen R. Covey
Have you ever felt like you just walked into an episode of "Friends," or perhaps that the script writers from "Friends" were secretly staging a particular scene of your life? You know... one of those moments where, if you were watching it from the outside, it would be hilarious. You'd be saying, "Oh, Ross and Rachel are so crazy!" or "Did Joey just SAY that?" as you laugh. Being in the middle of said situation though... not nearly as amusing as it appears from the outside.
Let's just say there was quite the text message battle going on last night... and all the people texting me were sitting RIGHT next to me having a conversation with one another. There were two levels of conversation going on. The polite, verbal one, and the one taking place through text messages directed towards me. All sides of the story were flowing through me, and there were a LOT of things going unsaid (verbally, anyways). In retrospect, the situation appears pretty comical... but at the time, I couldn't believe what was happening. Thank goodness for multitasking skills!
