I understand the nature of the industry (it being retail and all) demands that I have to answer my phone on weekends. I'm fine with that.

But if it's something that can be left to the weekday, please be more considerate and not bother me with it on my rest days. I hate being distracted when I'm supposed to be focused on enjoying (rare) time with my friends.

If I don't provide the adequate reply, does it mean I'm any less committed or passionate about my job? I hope not, because my job is not my life.

I wanna take back my weekends. And I really wanna throw the Blackberry away.

"That’s bullshit.  I think 'that wasn’t meant to be' is bullshit.  You are tested in life, you know?  Things aren’t just put in front of you for the taking.  You have to go through something to get what you want.  You can’t just drift through life and hope that love is just going to flow into you like plankton into a whale’s fucking mouth.  You have to prove yourself, you have to make things happen and choose."
