I feel FaceBook Has Ruined my Forum Addiction.

FACEBOOK IS EVIL and eventually messes you up!!! In past 3 months Facebook has brought my past to my face and things I never wanted to know.

friended.

I us Facebook so I know when I'm in a relationship.

That is all.

Dear J, you're just a big flammer that can't get enough attention.







Btw, Mokachino's Mom wants her pumps and skirt back, you thieving skank.

I get ya dave. I get it, having a business in such a ecco-douche area you have to talk the talk to keep the clientele happy.

Your example is a big reason I dont have social media, beyond here. My life is not that intersting I need to keep updateing what I am doing so everyone can know too. I get up go to work, go back to my room and do it all the next day, till I get to go home. If someone wants to get a hold of me, I am not that hard to find and someone will have my number for you to call me.

So caring about the environment is now a prerequisite to having a job in CA now-a-days ?? I guess it was only a matter of time :giggle:

To some extent, that's true, and you got me thinking more about it. I'm the employer so I don't care too much what my own people think about my car habits; they know how I roll. On the other hand, social media can be risky for employees. I've never looked for employees on facebook or elsewhere to see what they're up to, though I'm sure many employers do. I do know that HR people are increasingly screening applicants in part by searching for their social media activities.

My primary concern is offending the sensibilities of my customers, and in some way, I think of them as my employer. Extended family? Eh, not such a big deal, but I'd prefer them not to think of me as reckless, irresponsible and wasteful. I figure that most people don't get this car thing, and even though that's my only remaining vice in my middle-aged state, it doesn't cast a favorable light if you know what I mean.

Boo hoo facebook is so horrible. I need attention and can't control myself so i need to say F-U to the man and delete it... Blah blah blah. Etc.

:D

Edit: Before any lambasting occurs I am being sarcastic, and facetious

Exactly. Next thing you know all these eager family friends and others you don't want in your business will be friending you. You'll feel obligated to accept them, then suddenly you realize you can't be yourself. I get people that know me from my business, people I can't really ignore, but with them around I can't post about my car habits or else they'll conclude that either I don't care about the environment, make too much money, or both. Screw that.

Even better, you'll have to shut off all their notices about how they've found a purple pony and other retarded things in those stupid facebook games like farmville. If that weren't enough, you'll have people with vastly different views than yours, and you have to put up with their rants which only erodes whatever commonality you share with them. As if you gave a shit what they thought, now they shovel that crap in your face.

The only useful thing is to connect with old friends and acquaintances, then you can exchange emails and phone numbers so you can keep in touch. You still won't anyway, but at least you'll feel good that you have the means to connect if you weren't too lazy.

Well put sir

It will wear off pretty soon ;)

Jeremy busting the hinges off the closet door as he announces his fb page.

Tune in next week when J will explain why he is now into vampires and such.

I should have known something was up when he told me that he was selling the Lotus.
