when somebody puts a BUSY sign on their nick, it can be generally interpreted that they're BUSY. when people are BUSY, the common sense conclusion is that they have not enough hours in the freaking day to talk to YOU.
and if you are one of those who think that 'if they don't put their status as 'appear offline', then they aren't *really* busy', then maybe you should consider the possibility that THEY NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ELSE, WHO IS THEIR PROJECT MATE, WHOM SHE NEEDS TO EXCHANGE FILES WITH, AND WHO IS *NOT YOU*!
there is no politically correct justification to ignore or be irritated with someone who's just being friendly, but i think there's a limit to the obligation of being friendly back, for someone who just*isn't* as friendly. and fuck, i'm just NOT THAT FRIENDLY. i need my fucking space and i have my own fucking work to do and i'm so fucking sick of not being able to complain to anybody in this fucking school because the fucking politically correct interpretation of this situation is that i'm a fucking self centered bitch!
