Adjective: away u’wey

1. Not present, having left.


It’s amusing that some people still don’t understand the concept of the “away” status in MSN. Or the “busy” sign either. Despite me clearly stating that I’m “away”, people still stubbornly talk to me. Don’t get me wrong, I suppose it should feel good that people want to talk to me yet it gets annoying that they would still bother even though it’s obvious that I can’t reply.

So please, don’t go around blaming me if I don’t reply, leave a message, just don’t expect anything in return, I’d always love to hear from anyone. Unless of course I despise you or something.

I mean, honestly, the very purpose of the “away” & “busy” sign is to show you that I am in fact AWAY or BUSY. It’s like locking your door, obviously saying that you don’t want to be bothered. Yet, someone will willingly bang on it, demanding you open. *sigh. Some people. Tsktsk. I don’t mind if it’s rather urgent, I’ll open to that but it’s all down to this: When my status shows away, I really do mean it.
