One of the most difficult parts of a long-distance relationship is having normal everyday communication. It’s hard when the only way you can communicate is over the phone or on the computer. One of the methods we have available to us is Instant Messenger. Tyler keeps it on all day for work, and all I have to do is log in and say hello. It’s a pretty good chance that he’ll answer, given that he’s tethered to his laptop 90% of the time. I can ask him a quick question, he can answer me, and we can get on with our day. It’s quite handy and efficient.
However, it does have a big downfall. On occasion, Tyler will be in a meeting and will have connected his laptop to the overhead projector to put his documents up on the screen for everyone to see. And I never really know when that is happening, so when I ping him on IM, my comments are sometimes out there for all of his colleagues to see. Take this conversation, for example:
Andi: Hey sexy, whatcha wearing?
Tyler: Uh, I’m on screen in a meeting.
Andi: Oh, does that mean I can’t talk about your ass?
Tyler is now offline.
