I am asked on a several times daily basis, "are you on Facebook?" to which I simply respond no. In case you wonder why or even if you don't really care, my answer is because I do NOT need anything else to help feed my addiction of procrastination. I understand the reconnecting with old friends and communicating with people aspect of Facebook, but I barely have time for my friends and family now - why would I want to take away any of that time? Facebook is something that my kids enjoy and I don't want to move into their territory. I know - I can only see their info if they are my "friends," but what if I am nosy or think I want to know where they are and what they are doing??? They will tell me what they want me to know and to the best of my knowledge, they have never tried to hide anything horrendous from me. I don't think they've done anything horrendous, but hopefully, you get my point. I respect their privacy. Sure, I'd love to know where my college roommate is and what she is doing - is she still working at John's Hopkins - and maybe one day we will reconnect. The last time I heard from her was almost 25 years ago. I wonder if she is on Facebook....
As I have engaged in my worst pasttime, procrastinating for over an hour now, I really need to jerk myself up and get on with my plan for the afternoon. I do have work to do and I really want to start the week off on a good note.
So I will continue to "Say NO to Facebook" and work at curing my addiction....after I check out another website and look for that long lost book that was on my table in the den for months until it disappeared....
