Well, now I've done it. When will I get any work done?In a meeting the other day, my boss told our department we all need to setup facebook accounts!
I know, I thought it was a weird request too. I already waste too much time online as it is, so to add another time waster could spell the death of productivity altogether. But who am I to say no to my boss when she asks me to waste time online? Besides, she had a good reason (which I will not disclose at this time).
And a time waster is exactly what it is. It all seems quite juvenile, too. Between "poking" people, writing on their wall, getting in pillow fights, throwing staplers, playing Oregon trail, the applications on facebook can be fun, but it definitely reminds me of being in Jr. High.
On the other hand, it has proven a good way to catch up with old high school and college friends, long-lost cousins, and old work buddies. You'd be surprised how many people are on here that you know!
With first a blog and now a facebook, my life has become more public than Angelina Jolie's. Just be warned, I have had stalkers before and I'm not afraid to file restraining orders. I gotta go now, the paparazzi is on my tail!
If this post spiked your interest and you want to check me out on facebook, go here.
(note - I think you have to have a facebook account to view)

I don't know if I qualify as a stalker, we were friends once upon a time. It was fun to hear from you on facebook. It looks like things are good, and your boys are really cute. I would understand if you wanted to take a restraining order out on me, but I just thought I would say hi.

if you are interested in my life (it's so awesome, you can e-mail me at brynnzieclinger@gmail.com and I can invite you to my blog.)
Well, Welcome to it. I enjoy facebook because wierdos can't contact you or look at your pictures or anything like that, unlike a blog. And, like you said, it's a great way to keep up with people.
So, why did you boss make you do this?
