mentor: "so, Micheni, how did you spend your quarantine time wisely?"

me: "umm... I made new friends"

A (very!) short story.

THREAD!

mentor: "tell me about one such experience"

me: "there was this one guy called Calvin who reached out to me so I responded in a very friendly way."

mentor: "so what happened next?"

me: "he tried to reach out a couple of times but the call kept dropping, then when I tried to call back, he was always busy; so I told him to call me when he was free."

mentor: "you gave him time & space. That's very good people skills! what happened next?!"

me: "eventually, HE CALLED and... here! just listen!"

mentor: "and I oop! He hang up?!!"

me: "yeah. I think I messed up by using the big word 'COVID' in the conversation. I tried calling back but he wouldn't pick!"

mentor: "that's sad to hear. so what did you do next?"

me: "I really wanted to be his friend, so I DOUBLED DOWN on my texting efforts! I held NOTHING back!!!"

mentor: "great news, my man!

Question: did you remember to give him a chance to back out of the convo in case he wasn't in the mood?"

me: "of course!! It's not like I'm a toxic friend!!! (

I gave him the chance to either continue with the chat, or text back later."

mentor: "I see you are learning how to be a better friend!

Your phone still has that problem of sending many texts at once, right? Did you apologise?"

me: "I definitely did, Sir! Multiple times, just as we discussed juzi with @Kambua !"

mentor: "that's awesome, Micheni. so did he eventually reply?"

me: "no, but since he could be a family man, I decided to abort the mission for the night & pick up in the morning!"
