My current pet peeve?  Poor communication!! I recently had the opportunity to write articles on the topic of spirituality/new age. I enjoyed the assignment as those topics intrigue me. I don't promote any one theory, but I do enjoy thinking about the possibilities of the supernatural with an open mind. At the mid point of the project, my editor stopped all forms of communication with me. After the first day with no communication I thought he got caught up in the day to day grind. After day two with no communication I as mildly alarmed. After day seven I was more confused than alarmed. Did the aliens I was writing about abduct him? Was I supposed to use my psychic powers to communicate with him? Should I assemble a seance table to contact the spirit world for answers? The easiest solution would be to drop me a single line email...project stalled will be in touch next week. This solution in communication is much simpler than involving the spirit world for answers and it's way more credible.
