We frequently call holding jewelry "hostage" if a hostess has picked something out, but we haven't given it to her yet. We hold it "hostage" until the night of her show, hoping she'll hold her show to get the jewelry.
In this instance, being held hostage is not a bad thing. We are hoping to ensure a good outcome. But what about when a hostess holds YOU hostage?
It's likely because her friends are holding HER hostage.
We are enduring a phenomenon of information hostage taking like never before. Everyone claims to be "SO BUSY" when in reality they are being held hostage by the LACK of information.
We don't know when our work schedule is.
We don't know what the t-ball schedule is.
We don't know when friend "X" will be in town.
We don't know if family "Y" is available.
When your hostess doesn't get back to you, it's because her friends and family aren't getting back to her. Some truly are being held hostage by others, and can't get back to her. Others are holding her hostage, as they wait to see if a better invitation comes along.
How can we combat information hostage???
Your guess is as good as mine. Care to share your thoughts? Or will you hold them hostage :)
