I've been thinking about this lately, and I've decided that communication is a pretty important thing. It seems that pretty regularly I am put in a position (is this vague enough?) where I am basically placed in the position of mind reader because of somebody's lack of communication skills. I get so anxious (and irritated) when whoever I'm with expects me to know what they're thinking, and then gets irritated when I have no idea what we are doing. Maybe this says something about me too. I'm not the type of person that likes surprises or not knowing what my short-term schedule is going to be. It seems like usually when I'm in one of these mind-reading situations, I get the most anxious when I don't know if the person I'm with is expecting to spend 30 minutes on a project or 4 hours. Yo, I might have other stuff to do! I can't tell what you're thinking! So, for all of you in blogotopia, please make sure you are communicating with those around you! I have to clarify, this post is not referring to my wife. In closing, here's a random picture for you visual types.

Thank you for clarifying that this is not about me! :) And I still think changing your mind about the game conversation is ridiculous.
Funny, but when I read this, I feel like I'm having to read your mind to try and interpret what the message is that you're trying to convey. It's making me quite anxious (and irritated). I feel like this post is a surprise in disguise that could possibly affect my short term plans. I do have things to do, you know...
