Okay, this isn’t a running related post but I’m really quite miffed! No one, other than one guy I was playing Scrabble with, has noticed that I’ve left facebook!
I wanted to leave without telling people but I obviously wanted people to notice I’d gone! It’s quite humbling to realise that in actual fact people aren’t hanging on my every word, waiting with baited breath for my next thrilling status update!
I’ve also found it strange not being able to tell people what I’m doing. I’ve found myself wanting to update my status with things like “Kit Barker is dismantling a big desk” or “Kit Barker needs more coffee”. You know, the usual facebook status update. The thought that people don’t know what I’m doing is somehow troubling. I’m obviously having withdrawal symptoms!
The other side of it is that I’ve had to text people or phone them to ask how their recent holiday was and such like. That’s not a bad thing but if I was on facebook I’d have picked that up through status updates and would have been able to see photos. It obviously has it’s plus points.
At the moment I am thinking about rejoining but with a new policy of not posting everything I’m doing or only checking it twice a day. I would definitely keep it off my phone as I don’t want to get back into the habit of checking it every 2 minutes, even when on the toilet!
