The the owner of my company friended me on Facebook. Good thing I love my job, so my status updates aren't likely to be problematic. Still, I'll have to make sure I don't make too many of them at, say, 10:30 am on weekdays.

Matt, I have the same Facebook problem -- my boss was my Facebook friend before she became my boss! So I am careful about when and what I update on there, although sometimes she has slacker status messages herself, so I'm not super worried about it....
Welcome back, Shir! It felt like the Best Week Ever For Politics here. I don't know how long it will be before we top it, but I'm willing to cross my fingers and see.
My ability to goof off on facebook is severely hampered by my immediate supervisor being one of my friends on it. No updates griping about how I'm having a boring workday, that's for sure!
Limited profiles, people!! I put my sister on one because she would never comment on anything, and then would interrogate me about things I had posted on Facebook much later. It was highly irritating.
So far I've only been friended by two High School classmates on Fbook, found my nephew and was friended by his mother/my s-i-l, so it isn't too bad.
Timelies all!
Not on Facebook. Not planning to be on it either. I have enough difficulty keeping up with LJ and my forums.
So after we've had a blow-up, mac gets super clingy and has a tendency to be demanding in whiny ways. I want nothing more than to be left alone and am prone to crying at the drop of a hat.
I'm having a rough time today and despite sleeping in have come to church mostly so I can have some time away from mac but not completely alone. He is going with his uncle after church for a few hours and I really need to get myself out of this headspace.
Ideas? Preferrably low-cost/free ones.
A nice escapist movie?
OMG I totally am going to have to sign up on Facebook, aren't I? How did I become such a late adopter for technology stuff? (Answer: when it all became social networking stuff, I bet.) But my SO is flipping out because our niece and her dad (his brother) are having an online brouhaha. Which means that every single person in the world except me and probably Bev are on there now. (eta: hee, and Sheryl.)
I really am so antisocial. All those people I knew, I don't necessarily want to see again. Or talk to. I mean, what kind of conversations could I have with old high school people. "Hey, remember when you threatened to kill me and then I made friends with that kid who got kicked out of the city school because he knifed someone and then you left me alone? Good times, good times." Okay, that (former) kid probably wouldn't friend me.
Heh.
Anyway, I probably will join, 'cause I'm a sheep like that. Then you all can listen to me complain about talking to people.
What else? Oh, last night I was lolling around watching Northern Exposure ("The Big Feast") and eating organic buckwheat cereal. And I was wondering how I came to live such a crunchy granola lifestyle. And then I realized what I was missing: actual crunchy granola. Mmm, granola. Does anyone have a favorite brand, or a good recipe?
Ideas? Preferrably low-cost/free ones.
Go to the library and find some new books?
Go to a museum? Are there any cool shows going on now? Maybe a museum like the Museum of the Moving Image? I think they have video games there.
Go to a neighborhood that you like but don't visit often and walk around? (How cold is it today?)
Go hang out in a cafe with a diverting book for a couple hours.
Walk over to Tom Scola's place and borrow some graphic novels.
Get a slice of cheesecake at Junior's.
