Pretty bold title, right? I’d like to think I am a man of integrity, but I have come to realize that if you call me while I am sleeping and ask “did I wake you?” I will lie to your face. I don’t know why I do it. Not only do I say “no, you didn’t wake me,” I try to sound like I was awake all along. I try to rationalize this lie in my mind by thinking “technically no, you didn’t wake me, my ringing phone did.” I don’t have a good explanation for this behavior, but I just wanted to come clean about it.

I’ve never seen a more beautifully written apology.
if not for the back-handed nature of the apology, I might have taken this and used it as a form letter and with sincerity forwarded it to everyone that I plan on offending/have offended.
when life gives you potatoes, do you make french fries?
interesting website but you know you sound more bored then apologetic. did i wake you is code for; have you been offended? then your response might vary from i’ve been working late to i was just about to go to sleep. means almost nothing next to the emotion it draws from you. so your reaction to your actions lets you know that you’ve given them what you felt both of you would need. a positive outlook/reaction helps those beyond your immediate reach and can only be obtained in the moment.
p.s if you apologize would’nt that infer you have some ill will in mind when deviating to a ‘white lie’ it would obviously seem false from my perspective anyway…
