Don't taste the blackberries




Scary moment on Go train today. I heard a woman say this:

"Julie tends to repeat everything you say. Don't get me wrong, I like her, but she talks about people" (reply from work colleague) "yeah she's nice though" (starts dialing a number on her blackberry) "don't get me wrong, she's nice, and it's not that I don't trust her" (question from work colleague) "Hi this is [woman] calling you back. I won't be in the office tomorrow morning and I just wanted to ..." (typical office banter, consulting, fax me, my number is...) "OK thanks. bye bye. Yeah I think so, but she is like that. Don't get me wrong, I like her, just watch what you say around her"

Googling "Blackberry" no longer yields the fruit.

Do you see why this duality scares me?
