The Pretty, Pretty Timesuck of Despair
There were only three others besides me at work today. And two of them left at lunch. Yup, pretty quiet. Which can lead to the dreaded Not Much To Do Syndrome. You know how it is.
I thought to myself, Wenchie, you look kickass today. Unfortunately, there aren't many people here to revel in it, so what are you going to do with your time? Your nails are perfect. Your birthday wish list is updated. What to do...? I know! Join Facebook!
Sue and Heather are already on it, so seriously, what the hell was keeping me??? Welcome to the 2000s, Wenchie!
I started as soon as I got my coffee. Two hours and 45 minutes later, I had eleven friends. And not the lame, friend-of-a-friend type friends. REAL friends! That I actually know!
Or knew in high school and haven't seen in nearly twenty years, but who's counting?
I'm up to sixteen friends now, as Younger Step Daughter was kind enough to Friend me. I know how to chat. I've SuperPoked someone. And I added a birthday calendar! Go me!
Yes, it's true, I am Facebook's bitch. I am a Tool of the Book that is Face. I'm a whoring whore who whores, and Facebook is my pimp.
Which would probably bother me, if I weren't so used to it. Starbucks, Coach, Sephora -- I am butt monkey to them all. I don't even complain anymore when they tell me to grab my ankles. I just keep downloading photos on my precious, shiny Facebook.
Those of you who know me by name -- look me up and Friend me!
Those of you who don't know me by name -- you're better off. Trust me, you don't need me around complicating your life and wasting your time.
Just ask Husband.

You should look into becoming a fan of Sephora, Starbucks, etc. Just to make your toolness complete. Facebook is ridiculously addictive.

Good for you! I'm still afraid of Facebook, and don't have one yet. I'm waiting for the retro-rebound of myspace.

PS. Waiting for ANTM recap please.
