How about one of those arm bands that I used to see used in the gym? (I am sure they are still used in the gym, I just dropped my membership at the beginning of the pandemic.) That way it is not pulling down on your pocket, it is a pouch that straps to your upper arm. I encourage you NOT to walk off without your phone. You are an attractive woman, a woman, and a woman of a certain age. You just never know when you will need to reach out to someone for your own safety. My kids get very aggravated if I don't answer in a reasonable amount of time. If I don't show up for work when I'm scheduled and haven't called out sick one of my daughters is my emergency contact and they will call her. If they call her and I haven't she will be all over me. I let that daughter know if I am going out with someone and when I expect to be home, not that that has happened in a while. You just never know when you'll need to reach someone.

I work in customer service for a credit union. On Friday I think I was told Happy Easter at the end of about 20% of my calls. To which I responded something about having a great weekend. The first time I heard Happy Easter I responded with "oh yeah, that is coming up." There are some that really make a point of pushing their own agenda, and I just say "bye" and hang up. I don't have time for it, and I'm not going to make an issue of it. I just want to make the calls as short as possible.

I don't need to waste any of my time with that bullcrap. Had it had a decent return address I was going to write back and point out the errors of their philosophy, but I really didn't want to waste my time on that either.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 7, 2022:

After 6 years in the Army, I did not ask my kids if they'd like to learn something that is extra work. I said, "C'mere kid, let me show you the right way to do it." I know they know how, and I don't care if they do it or not. I was not a stickler for how they kept their stuff, unless it got too far out of control and affected the rest of the family. Then all hell broke loose. The daughter who was most unorganized/untidy has morphed into the most organized, tidy person in the family.
