Completing Communications

Drawing by David Gordon

Hanging Chad, seen above, is suffering. It seems his habit of not completing communications is backfiring again. He leaves friends, family and acquaintances not knowing where he stands or what he feels. He doesn’t return communications when asked to go to lunch, or even when he agrees, he doesn’t follow through.

He is dismissed as a flake and not a real player.

No wonder Chad is looking sad these days. If he can’t finish the communication loop, then others will do it for him without doing him any favors. It usually ends with a sentence that has “jerk” in it. 

Perhaps, it’s that Chad doesn’t respect other people’s time? Or his time as well?

Or, is he a space cadet? Or, totally unorganized? Or, maybe he’s a serial procrastinator? Or excuse maker? Or is it that he is out of touch with himself and his needs.

For whatever reason, it’s the opposite of being impeccable. How often do have a Chad inside ourselves? And why do we play that card?
