It's Not You

. ..it's me. And the fact I don't think we've really met or if we saw each other on the street I don't think we would speak. Those are the people I am losing on facebook. I was already feeling weary with all these people I dont know at all and accepting their friend requests of strangers and they didn't even say hello. Now I dont feel bad at all, and if we really are meant to be connected we will meet. And Im very aware Im not that cool and the only reason a lot of the people have friended me is because of the industry and place I work. That's what LinkedIn is for, not my personal FB

Then today a private investigator came and chatted with a few of us at work. She works some with CNN and so fab - and using facebook to get the dirt. She is hired by companies to check applicants and one place her team goes is Facebook. Crazy pictures and friends often trip people up, along with lying about the school they actually graduated from.

I had a funny experience over the weekend. I went to dinner with two publicist last week (the ladies of 135th st, they are so fab) and a writer friend of theres comes along. He's all, I think we've met before. He doesn't look familiar at all, but his name is familiar. He tells me about a hot exhibit at Studio Museum of Harlem and I definitely plan to check it out. Anywho, we have a great time and I love hearing their stories of coming up through the industry, as I dig into my Turkery Burger at Cafeteria (that Macaroni and Cheese with Truffles is BOMB). Well, the itis kicks in and I am almost nodding at the table before we head uptown:) The next morning he posts on my wall - somehow we are already facebook friends. I dont friend strangers so I must have accepted his request and not even looked at the profile. Not good. Luckily it worked out in this instance, but that PI has me thinking . . .operation access denied is in effect . . .
