ABOUT "MONITORING SPIRITS"

I came across a post today that took me down memory lane. It reminded me of the time when I had my personal monitoring spirit in human flesh. We're good now so this is both for your reading pleasure and a guide on "HOW NOT TO BE PESTERED BY A MONITORING SPIRIT"

 

My monitoring spirit was on WhatsApp. She'll expect me to leave life as I know it to attend to her WhatsApp chats; she'll ask me why she can see me "Online" yet I'm not responding to her chats. I was nice for a while, explaining and all. When I realised that I was usually guilty until proven innocent with her, I let her know that monitoring doesn't work for me.

She tried to turn it around, telling me that she was just looking out for me bla bla bla. She tried the emotional blackmail aka silent treatment and that didn't work. We shared a few strong words. According to her, if you care about something/someone, you'll give them attention. Yeah ma'am but if you love something/someone, you'll give them some breathing space too. Finally, we're getting along better now. I try to respond to her chats as soon as I can get to it and I think she's learning to understand that I'll get to her chats when I can...

 

Thankfully, my inbox is saner now that I publish any inbox nonsense on my Facebook page. If the "spirit" leads, I'll start publishing names too, lol...I'm sick and tired of Inbox Monitoring Spirits. They're following you upandan. Okay, I've monitored a few people online but believe me, I've NEVER asked them why they're ignoring me. I just assume that they've got higher priorities than what I'm chatting about and when they can, they'll get to my matter. If you finally get to my matter and I've found another way to solve it, abeg let it pass. Don't be pestering me with trying to solve a problem I no longer have...That ship has sailed, tenkiu...This one is even the topic of an entire post that I may have written about earlier...Don't expect to put me on hold and still meet me where you left me...AMA is too dynamic for that...Wait for the next time I'll need your help (most likely NEVER) and prove that you care THEN!

Anyway, I'm writing to you from 3rd Mainland Bridge today where whatever it is that causes these evul Monday traffic jams has resumed duty and e tie wrapper come wear suit...Plenty #‎TalesFromTheRoad gist dey but no time to write more for now. I'll see if I can share later.

In other news, what do you think about my "artwork" in the picture? Should I quit my day job and become a Graphic Designer? Or should I just face my day job jeje?

 

Welcome to my world!
