Enough with the 2.0, already - aka, back off, Google.

I have gotten on several social networking bandwagons, that's fine. I'm drawing the line at sharing RSS with anyone. Just... no. Google volunteered for me a short list of people whom I know - and like quite well- as people I am "following." - Uh, no. Not everything needs to be shared. If I want to share something I find on RSS, I have about 5 different ways I can get that information to them, thanks v. much. The reverse of this is also true.

Hopefully my recalibration of settings will make that go away. Damn internet, get off my lawn.

Oh dear

Is this the cause of the grumpy or just contributing to it?

If we use the garden hose will it drive them off the lawn or just cause them to grow? Wasn't there something in the directions about never letting them get wet?

My reaction is a symptom of my state of mind, I think. I suspect I'd not care so much if I wasn't prone to grump.

Think I'll stay hidden in my office most of the day. It might be best.

I hate hate HATE that various 2.0 things do that. HATE.

What is weird, is the IT Dept I work in doesn't seem to have an issue with that. When I set someone up with a google based app, or chat stuff, I suggest they create a work account. Privacy, it's awesome. My IT colleagues are all "What? Why wouldn't you want to have everyone linked to your personal account?"

MEH.

Another clue that maybe our lives are not like others. Dunno. That is very weird.

I even tried making it very simple "What if you are gay and you're not comfortable being out to your coworkers?" Blank stares. Then again, the head of my department is quasi-closeted, as is an upper level manager.
