Facebook.

Facebook.

What can I say about this post-myspace craze? Do I think it is insane to spend hours on a computer when interactions could take place with "real," kinda. I will say facebook has allowed me to keep in touch with friends and family and friends i had lost touch with. So bravo facebook, but must we really water everyone's garden and do every test that comes our way? It's getting to be a big commitment. As of late, if you don't friend someone immediately, they think you ae mad at them...I can't take the pressure. I don't log on everyday; after being at a computer screen all day, I have no desire!

Let me also tell you a story: I decided not to friend a few people I work with; I am sure they are nice people, but they are not my friends in real life. So I did not friend them. Now hey won't talk to me in real life; grow up people. Just becaause I don't want you to see my photos from who knows when, know what i am doing everytime i update my status, or let you into my "real"/personal life does not mean you can't be civil. Peple need to realize there is a waiting period to be friends. I have one. At work, I don't really think we are friends until I have worked with you and know how you will respond to situations and if you will help out with SSSS or if you will turn your head until at least 3-6 months. Some of my best friends from work are from what Bling Bling, as I call him, calls the "old" group. Yesterday, he informed me I was from the "new old" group versues the "new people" as I so kindly refer to them as. What do I mean here? Well there are those that started, they are from the begining of the organization, or pretty close; those that came 2 - 3 years ago (me), and those that are less than 6 mo in and know everything, just ask them.

The new people are the ones that come in waves, a handful at a time and no one can remember their name until they give their resignation letter. These are the people that don't have any staying power, which is why I don't friend everyone on Facebook. You gotta make the cut. My rules: don't piss me off, don't put your finger in my face, don't try to be my best friend your first week on the job and we have to be friends in real life to be friends on facebook. As much as I liked mentoring, the new people annoy me. I am tired of them. Why can't people stay at a job after you'v interested months of YOUR life training them. They can't be trusted. Not until you know they aren't going to leave before they are through training.
