No Chit..No Chat
If you’re like me you probably don’t chit chat with your friends much, anymore.
You might communicate…but actually speak to them…probably not so much.
Texts, Facebook, Twitter and possibly even E-mail…although I’m finding I receive and send less and less personal e-mails these days, as well.

It's really nothing new; I've written about this before.
People just don’t want to talk…to you or anyone else, for that matter.

They want to get their message out in the fewest possible words, if not characters, and be on their way.

Nothing personal…it’s just the way the culture is evolving.
No time for chit, and don’t even think about chat.
If you should call someone and actually speak to them you automatically ask how they’re doing.
It can’t be helped.
Like sneezing in a room full of cats.
Most of the time, people will just say “pretty good” or “fine” or more to the point…“OK”.
The two most succinct letters in our shared lexicon…O and K…sum up everything.
Even if the person you’re speaking to just caught their left arm in the mechanism of their new Lazy Boy chair, while digging for an old M&M, and has been stuck like that for the past 4 hours.
“I’m OK…whatsup wit you?”
What?
Hey…it happens.
Of course there are always going to be those who take you at you’re word and then go on to actually tell you how they’re doing.
