ever wondered if someone is really busy when their msn thingy says they are busy?
or if they are ever away just because their status is away? the only preset status that is worth believing would have to be "on the phone", or "out to lunch", or maybe "be right back" even .
i am saying this because, recently i've noticed everyone's either busy or away even though they're online. now then, the best way to indicate that you're away or busy doing something non-msnmessenger related would be, well, to log off. even if you turn on your computer 24hrs, 2 days a week.
i am guilty of putting my status as busy or away, even when i am 30cm away from my LCD screen with one leg on top of my tall computer and another on my desktop, which relieves my thigh of any pressure when sitting on my chair.
now, back on the status issue. the only reason why i switch to busy/away mode, is to deter people from chatting with me. this has been very successful because, even when my status is online, NO ONE chats me up except for the usual few whom im very grateful for livening up my my online days.
when i dont want to be disturb, and someone actually disturbs me, i have the cover of being away and say i was busy watching spongebob out side or listening in to someone's conversation directly below my window.
but this rarely happens, in fact, when im really away and forget to switch modes, people PM me.
my juices have run dry.
the title just doesnt make sense right?

they should also create status-es like "walking around the house- half naked" and "watching downloaded tv serials"

do i liven up your online days? ahaha.. away/busy status doesn't work for me. "away/busy" actually means "i cant be bothered to talk to you. GO AWAY." but no one seems to get the message..
