People who you haven't spoken to for ages that call you out of the blue

Just got called by someone I haven’t seen for nearly three years and then probably a couple of years before that out of the blue. From Singapore! Twenty minute chat. Quite heavy. Not prepared for it.

DON’t DO IT!

2

How were they?

3

Did it to some uni friends the other week. They’re coming to stay over New Years now.

Bit much.

4

Quite well. I feel slightly drained.

5

I think you will feel less drained soon

6

Got to interview someone in 30 minutes!

Good luck @chris-budget!

8

They will be charming and competent and you will feel refreshed for having met them

I wish I did this. Loads of people I should call.

i’d be profoundly disconcerted if anyone who isn’t my mum phoned me on the actual phone without prior warning or a specific emergency reason

Usually a bit of a cry for help, but if we were close once I at least try to listen for a bit while panicking as always

Fuck that. Already done two today and one was ok so could do without this guy putting a cat amongst the pigs.
