Facebook revisited

After much careful consideration, tonight I clicked the little button at the top of my computer screen that whisks me quickly and effortlessly to my Facebook homepage.  I tried hard to avoid reading the goings on of my friends (managed to only read one!  blame Andy and his pictures of Florida) while I found the icon to take me to my messages.  I decided that it wasn't fair to my friend who sent me a message, since she had no way of knowing what I had randomly decided to do at 3:30 one morning.  And I had an obligation to the student review site to respond promptly to their inquiries.  I would have felt better if I could make it the whole two weeks without logging in at all, but using it strictly for one-on-one communications will have to suffice.  Outside of these couple of messages, I'm going to go ahead and stay off for the two weeks.  I'm sure that over the next thirty-two months, another time will come when I get too attached to Facebook and then maybe I can try this again.

  1. Somehow I missed this post but now I see that you did it Thursday night. I just missed reading it today when I saw your more recent facebook post. I really do think it is a good idea to pay attention to what we are attached to and then see how we do when we unattach ourselves.
