As one-half of the Aling Pomii combo, who has spent countless hours coordinating drinking galas, beach-excursions, evil testing plots, and home-improvement lists, I feel it is necessary to speak to the issues that occur when a duo is inoperable due to distance and time-zone constraints.
1. Lunch Partnerage – I found myself hungry today, somewhere around 1030. But, the other half of the duo is on a business trip. I needed to contact four (4) different people to find a lunch partner. Four! You can imagine the pain that caused me.
2. Funny Jokeage – It is completely impossible to relay the hilarity of a joke about another that suddenly just comes to you if two people are in different time zones. Take the following (condensed and paraphrased) conversation:
Person A: Hey guess what?
Person B: What?
Person A: This person we know is completely ridiculous. We just got out of work and you will not believe what happened.
Person B: What happened?
Person A: (insert funny and juicy information)
Person B: I love it! I would love to discuss this for an hour, but I have to go to a meeting.
Trust me, this was far more excruciating at the time it happened than it appears to be in print.
More to come as my separation anxiety deepens….
