Wasting Time
Here’s an example of how today’s technology can cause us to waste time. This is an email that I received today:
Hi!
Last time we talked about the difference between Canadian and US medications. You told me that US meds are much better than other. I've decided to try out Canadian pharmacy. You know that i have some problems with anxiety so i used Valium and Xanax that I've bought at My Canadian Pharmacy drug store: (use this link).
They have lower prices but their medications have such quality as US meds do. They also provide secure purchase. I'm completely satisfied and i think you'll be satisfied, too.
John.
In the first place, who is “John”, and when did I talk to him about Canadian and US medications? Why would I even be talking about medications? I’m a musician, not a pharmacist!
Secondly, how would I know that “John” had problems with anxiety if I don’t know who he is in the first place?
Finally, is “John” intimating that I need to be using Xanax and Valium, so I might as well get them cheaper from “My Canadian Pharmacy?”
Perhaps I need to be using some sort of memory enhancing drug, since I have no recollection of my conversation with “John.”
Things like this keep me out of the studio, and thinking crazy thoughts.
I’d better get to work before I’m tempted to write back to “John” and demand that he leave me alone. (I could word my request in a stronger, earthier way, but there are ladies reading this blog!)
