The last time I did was 2001. I was working at GE ITS and part of our dept was being moved to India and the other to Kentucky. I got laid off, not without an offer of advancement which I didn't take...hind sight is 20/20. Anyway I was on unemployment and we decided to cut back in some places until I got another job. I offered to shut off my cell phone. Which back then wasn't so hard to do since it was fairly new to us, but it was handy.
I love it! I even said after I got another job I didn't want another cell but Mr. Man said I needed one. (I'm not a phone person for those that don't know me)
Any way back to facebook, recently I find myself so annoyed with the posts people put on there. The drama, political opinions, any strong opinions, and family throwing family under the bus.. I like to read the fun and funny stuff am I the only one? I like to go on fb to see what others are doing with their families, pictures of the family, things like that.
Since I have been off I have a lot more time! I also played games on fb, what a time waster! I do miss things that my closest family and friends are posting like pictures but some are being pretty good about texting me pictures and emails so I don't miss out completely.
It's been wonderful so far! I am just shutting down fb. I am still using my cell since now that is my only phone I no longer have a land line. I am blogging sometimes as you can see and I have posted pictures to instagram which I am liking much more.
I am taking the summer off and I will think about it again come fall, but I am hoping I really enjoy being disconnected from all that other stuff and don't want to return...at least for now. Never say never!
Please leave me a comment if you have ever unplugged from something and tell me how it went for you.
Hugs,
Tania
