Greetings readers!
It's forty one minutes until the new episode of Game of Thrones and I'm finally done working for the day (yes, on Sunday) so I figured I have enough time to jot down a quick blog post before I settle in to watch the Khaleesi kick some more asses and take a few more names. Seriously y'all, call me nerdy for being such a huge GoT fan, but I dare anyone to watch last week's episode and not be impressed. Dracarys.
Anyway, last week I disabled my Facebook account. I didn't do it because I was trying to get my mind off of some guy or for some higher purpose like giving something up for Lent or some other religious holiday. Mainly, I did it because I was sick of looking at it. Here are a few things I learned being away from the world of Facebook.
1.) People don't give a shit what I'm up to.
I am as guilty (or more-so) than anyone of posting meaningless status updates. I try to at least make them witty or entertaining, but I have posted far too many times what I'm having for dinner, what I'm reading, or that I'm exhausted. Sure, a few people asked me if I wasn't on the book of face anymore, but no one cried, time didn't stop, and the world didn't fall off its axis when I didn't post anything for a week. Not that I think I am anywhere important enough for any of those things to happen, but still...they didn't.
2.) I don't give a shit what you're up to.
Just as I'm sure people have groaned at some of my status updates, I groan just as much about theirs. There are several things I can't stand to see posted but I fear if I list them out I will offend my friends who are offenders of the list. But, my top 3 I Don't Give a Shit subjects are your children's bowel movements, anything about how you love gay people but don't support gay marriage, and selfies. I know what you look like, you know what you look like, just STOP.
3.) So much less drama.
A lot happened last week and people were texting me left and right with 'did you see what so and so posted'? And my answer could always be 'No.' And it was glorious. Because I didn't see what stupid decisions some people were making, I didn't think about them. And it was wonderful.
So why am I back on Facebook? Honestly, it's mainly for pictures and to keep in contact with people I don't see very often, such as old professors and co-workers. But, I definitely plan to post less. Yes, I fully see the irony of advertising this new blogpost in a Facebook status, but whatever. It's a link, you don't have to click, and if you don't want to read it don't click it. Not that hard, people.
Okay, time to look over a report one more time before I settle in to watch the greatest show on tv. Why am I working on a Sunday, you may ask? Well, that is a story for another blog. But I'll give you a little teaser: it's because of a coworker I have that sits close to me and does not shut up for the 7.5 hours she is at work. Constant chatter about her aunt's broken hip three years ago, what she made for dinner last night, and updates about the stupid 31 shit she sells. Much like annoying Facebook status she's always there, in your face, constantly spewing information no one around her cares to hear. That'll be a fun read.
