Text of the Week

This is a new section I'm going to try include in my blog. The text of the week is an actual text message received by me or someone I'm friends with.

This week's text of the week:

"Was born a girl with a voice. I'm relieved actually. Anytime u get fired u should say thank u."

I'm not EXACTLY sure what this person is talking about (or whether she knows what she is talking about), but I really wish I had said thank you when I got fired. Genius...

[Note: Notice I wrote "thank you" not "thank u." It's troubling to me that this person used the letter "u" rather than the word "you" because it suggests to me that's she' s one of those people who still uses the ABC function rather than itap or T9 when typing texts. People who use the ABC function (and I'm friends with some of them unfortunately) are like people you see in the Cash Only toll lane on the highway because they don't have EZ-Pass. Look, I know they're not hurting anyone but themselves, but it's like, What the Fuck? Grow up! You're sittin there asking your girlfriend to make sure you have exact change because that line is shorter than the Cash lane??? Take 5 minutes to stick a piece of plastic to your windshield...God!]
