Dilemma

Being as super technologically advanced as I am, I not only blog but I also use facebook. Unfortunately so do many many many of my work colleagues, most of whom I added when I worked alongside them.

Since working in a slightly* higher position I've been dwelling upon how appropriate this is. Indeed some of them update daily with such banal comments that I am beginning to regret adding them simply because the more I know about their personal lives, the more I dislike them. But once you've agreed to one of them, you start to get stuck and quite simply I can't be arsed with the awkward questions as to WHY I don't want to be their "facebook friend". Especially when the answer is I would NEVER be their "real-life" friend outside of work.

However, my dilemma has finally been brought to a head as one of them has just contacted me via facebook to complain about their rota.

But how to start the cull...? Some of them I genuinely want to stay on my facebook. But then the others will notice that, and then all those awkward questions (as outlined earlier) will start. Argh. I've got myself into a bit of a pickle that I'm still too immature/lazy to think through.

By the way if I happen to know you and you're reading this its unlikely you're one of those I've been questioning deleting. Very few people I actually know read this, so if you are its because I like you.

Ooh I sound so lovey dovey. Well no, I actually sound a bit bipolar: incredibly bitchy beyond reasonability one minute, then all nicey-nicey the next. But as I said, I'm a bit pathetic about offending people and moreover, I hate the hassle it causes.

However, I think its time. Soon. Probably.




*Don't get carried away - it is only very slightly; such is the success of my career.
