A thought about (mis)communication

[Rick M]

There are a couple of guys coming to town over the long weekend that I'm interested in, and I'm having the darnedest time setting something up. You'd think in this age of quick and easy communication that there would be no problem, but fluid communication just means noise propagates more freely, and (I hate to say it) deception and abuse are encouraged. Some professionals handle the  overload better than others, and some can keep a fella dangling for days awaiting confirmation. I want to relieve anxiety, not increase it!

End of mini-rant.

Yep. 99% of my job is dealing with miscommunication caused by communication that is quick and easy. In a sentence: it sucks.
