I got a text a few days ago from a friend I haven't heard from in about a year. She said "We need to meet up for lunch soon!" Now mind you- we used to meet up with a group of mutual friends for a liquored up lunch every now and then so not completely unusual. We put a stop to it because of all the drama that ensued. I wont go into details but ending the once every 2-3 months get togethers really was a good thing, especially for me- you can save your drama for your mama!
Since I was hoping maybe she just wanted to meet up for a one-on-one lunch and not the usual circus I texted her back and said "Sure, just hit me up after the holiday and let me know" meaning when and where she wanted to meet up. I didn't have to wait long!
I woke up to a text from her that she had apparently sent as soon as she hit the floor this morning. I learned really quick what her actual purpose was. She was having problems with her laptop and wanted me to fix it so she wouldn't have to pay a repairman. She remembered that one time I had let a mutual friend drop off her laptop with me and fixed it for her... 7 years ago!
She didn't get the reaction she expected. I asked what the laptop was doing, told her "Try this" and "Try that" and "If none of that works either take to a professional or go buy a new one!" She expected to be able to drop it off with me and come pick it up fixed and good as new. Not today sunshine!
I am not a computer repair person but I know enough to get by. I'm not going to wrack my brain (or Kdog's either for that matter) for somebody I haven't heard from for a year, and then only because she wants something.
With those kinds of "friends" I don't need any enemies!
Maybe I should have put this in the "Rant" section....
