Several months ago, I finally caved into peer pressure (OK, Trina pressure, but she's my peer, right?) and joined Facebook. At the time I was already blogging, AND was on match.com, so I was unsure about leaping into yet another online huge pit of time-wasting doom.
But I did it.
And I thought I was OK. I thought I was in control. I thought I could handle it.
I had a few friends on, and found more as the months went by. I played word games, updated my status, and gradually added more friends (though, relatively speaking I'm still pretty much a social outcast by Facebook standards!).
But it was no big deal. I certainly didn't NEED it.
But this week, suddenly everything changed. I saw that I'd been tagged in some photoes on Trina's page, and I wanted to go see them.
I got a Page Cannot Be Displayed error. Hmmmm.
I didn't think much about it; I did briefly consider that facebook might've been added to the "blocked" list at work, but it wasn't the typical error you get when you try to access blocked sites (not that I've ever tried to access blocked sites or anything.....).
But then it happened again the next day. And the next. And Kathy was getting it too. And it kept happening, and each time, my anxiety level would increase! I wanted to update my status! I wanted to see photos! I wanted to know what my friends were doing!!!!
So, today I'm on a non-work network (as it's Saturday), and sure enough, I can get to Facebook. Looks like the internet-blockers have struck again, and I'll have to limit myself to off-hours status updates.
Sigh.....

Oh, Bummer!
I was the one who first got you to join Facebook? I don't remember! lol. Must be some Jedi Mind Trick that I didn't know I had going on... ;)
My Dad is blocked from reading my blog at work. Another bummer. He almost didn't accept the job once he found out. (kidding)
Have a great weekend!
Boo. They clearly do not understand the power of web 2.0 and social networking. Again I say, "Boo."
