Why is everything such a BIG FREAKIN' DEAL?

[Guest guest]

I got from a number I didn't recognize around 10pm last night... I let it go to

VM...

This morning I listed to message.

It was nada on match.com man's phone... apparently she left her cell phone at a

public library last week (explains why it's been awfully quiet this week) and

won't get it til next Thurs. So, this message (delivered in rushed, breathless,

urgent tones - notice a week after losing phone) was to give me his home,

office, cell #'s " In case there is an EMERGENCY and you HAVE TO REACH ME... "

Um, ok.

Why is everything such a big drama? Why such assumptions that there will always

be " an emergency " ? Why the distorted since of time? If this is truly bothering

her, don't you think she'd get the phone before letting a total of 2 weeks go

by? I know match.com knows because I could hear him feeding her the #'s in the

background....

She does this " in case there's an emergency " thing with me all the time...

usually when I go on trips or away on business... as if I'm incapable of having

my 'backup plans' in place.... I'm 41 and quite capable thankyouverymuch.

I see therapist on Monday... THANK GOODNESS... I have a list this time...

Anyone else sick of the conjured up crisis mentality?
