A Reason Not to Facebook at Work...A LOOOONG Thursday Afternoon Rant

Ok, I'm venting... You know how you have certain people that you try at ALL costs to avoid??? You know the type...ex-significant others, negative people, maybe even people whose body odor not only singes your nose hairs but will also prompt a certain amount of bile to come up without fail??? Ummm...ok, that last example might be a little extreme. But, NONETHELESS, I'm sure that we all have them.

Well, anyway, my #1 person that I try to avoid is none other than my EX-boyfriend and I had the oh-so delightful experience of running into him on Facebook. You see, the "geniuses" at FB decided that implementing a nice, little instant messenger apparatus would be the icing on the cake for an already extremely intrusive webpage. I mean, GEESH...people can log-in and automatically see what you've written on someone else's wall in addition to the pictures of you that your friend might have posted that are less than flattering! Well, anyway....

I was online engaging in my own little "Nosy Rosie" activities and noticed that my ex IM'ed me...Now, that should've been clue #1 to get off especially since I have better things to do while I'm on the clock ;-) But, you know how it is...your mind wanders and you get a lightbulb in your head and it prompts you to surf the web. I digress...

When he first IM'ed me, he asked me something like "hey can we talk about somethings". Well, I promptly replied by saying, "no". Following my reply, I began getting a barrage of messages from him where he initially said that he "understood that I was going thru something and that I needed to pray about it"...blah, blah, blah. After like the second or third message, I finally broke down and basically said, "look, I'm not going thru anything...I just don't feel like talking about anything that isn't relevant to me...." Now, I felt like I was being nice by saying that rather that "please don't talk to me". I guess that was clue #2 to get my butt of Facebook, however, I stayed on Facebook ANYWAY!!!!

Well, once I sent that....all hell broke loose!!! He started off by saying that he noticed that I had been conversing with one our mutual friends and that it was obvious I just didn't want to talk to him... Now, stop...anyone else would've made that last statement and left it alone, right??? Well, needless to say, I finally let him go on with his rants and raves about how I never call and him yada, yada, yada...and just when I couldn't take it anymore, I responded!!!!!!

I told him that I didn't want to talk to him he's so negative to the point that once I finished talking to him, I'm not only completely drained but also utterly ticked off because he's C R A Z Y!!!! He's one of those people who has the "woe is me" attitude and constantly thinks that the world owes him something... Dude, you're almost 26 years old!!! Life is not fair, and whoever told you that it was has done a serious disservice to you!!!!

Anywhoo, the convo went on far longer than it should have and I could kick myself for entertaining such fooliness because put me in a terrible mood!!! Argh!!!

But, after going to lunch and having had time to think about it, I just decided that I'm gonna just gonna delete him as a friend on Facebook. After all, I don't communicate with him via phone calls or texts; so it's kinda pointless to allow a person like him the opportunity to use Facebook instant messenger to invade my life... So, I'm gonna go about the business of deleting him as soon as I can find out how to do it...lol

HOWEVER....I don't feel like deleting him as a friend is enough I much rather prefer tying him in a chair and giving him lashes with a wet towel... But, you know what would be even better?? If we were in medieval times, I could possibly get away with going to the village leaders and demanding that his tongue be cut out for various unfavorable infractions like lying and being a big, wimpy baby!!!! Oh, no I an even better one...a scarlett letter "J" on his chest for the word "jerk"!!!! YES!! Ok on second thought, I might have taken that too far as well :-)

But... just know, if you hear of a guy in the Birmingham metropolitan area who has mysteriously gotten branded the letter "J" on his forehead...then just pretend like you never read this, ok? Lol!

Ahem!!! Is this thing on???

Ok...well, I've decided to try to see what this blogging thing is all about :-) I'm a little apprehensive. Don't really know what to discuss; but, I figured "what the hey", I'll give it a shot... I feel like I'm on stage in front of like a massive group of people and everyone is looking and trying to figure out what I'm going to say. Looking to see if I'm going to make a fool out of myself or freak out and have an anxiety attack and make a quick exit from the stage... I think I'm going to choose the later; I'll leave and go consult Patrice since she seems to be a "blogger guru"!!!

So, until next time...I'm dropping the microphone a la Eddie Murphy in the "sexual chocolate" scene from "Coming to America"... powder blue tux and all... lol!
