This social networking thing has gotten out of hand. I have previously commented on one of them, here. I have become quite disappointed in the childish behavior exhibited by my coworkers and colleagues. I seriously thought higher of people than I should have.
One would think, with the seriousness of this profession, there would be a modicum of adult behavior, but no, some of us have decided to resort to name-calling and trash-talking. This is supposed to be a field of adults, but we too often stoop to a high-school level with our behavior. I have been guilty of it as well. But not any more.
So I cleaned up my Facebook friends. No longer will I be "friends" with my coworkers, because, frankly, my coworkers aren't my "friends." They are my "coworkers." I may make a CCC Facebook page later, in an effort to expand my readership, but we will have to see.
I know that several of my readers are my friends on Facebook, and I frankly trust them to maintain my anonymity, and to behave like the adults that I know they are. So, if you are here, and you are there, then I consider you a friend, and I am glad to have you in my life.
