Great Job, Champ!
I’m reading the new John Grisham book, ‘The Guardians’ on my phone.
The book is good, but now, every two days, I get a message, from my phone, that I’ve ‘reached my reading goal’ for the day.
On Saturday, I got a congratulatory message because I had made my quota for the week.
Go me!
The thing is that we can’t do anything anymore without someone asking us how everything went for us.
There’s a truck in front of us:
“How am I driving? Call 1-800.”
Has anyone ever called that number to say:
“Your driver is exceptional”?
It’s not only there.
Go to the post office. After the spiel that they give every single customer they hand you the half-a-mile receipt and let us know:
“There’s a little survey for you to fill out to let us know how your experience was.”
Seriously?
Everyone is in a constant search for instant approval.
“How was our service?”
“If you liked your waitress, tell us.”
“Go on line and write us a review!”
My God!!
I read a lot of books.
I don’t need someone to tell me that I’m reading enough, I’m getting enough steps, and my screen time was down.
Leave me alone!
If I don’t write you a nasty note (like I did to Southwest last week) you can rest assured that everything went all right.
I’m not going to fill out a comment card, won’t write you a congratulatory letter for excellent service and don’t care if your internet scores are great.
However, rest assured, I have reached my reading goals this week.
Will probably make it next week too.
Now about that heart rate.
