Social Media

I've signed up for Goodreads. Last time I had an account over there, they still did the book exchange. Now I'm hoping to use it for discovery. It turns out almost none of my friends/family have accounts over there.

I also signed up to facebook. I discovered that my mom was sending emails to an address that wasn't me. Making an account on facebook seemed easier than getting her to change the email address in her address book. I added her and a few other family members I don't hear from often.

Image macros. Image macros as far as the eye can see.

It's like a weird mash up of icanhazcheeseburger and /pol/. If /pol/ were populated by computer illiterate baby-boomer liberals.

I need to figure out a way to hide everything they share that originates from a third party.

Work

Is crazy bad. I won't say too much since I don't use a pseudonym on here, but, wow.

I did get recognized by the big boss. For doing the exact same shit that they previously kicked me to the ass end of the building for. That cost me a lot of lost hours and a lot of office politics to dig my way back to where I had been. He doesn't seem able to grok why I'm not grateful.
