I feel like "not worse" than last week's session is not a high enough bar, and cartoon anvils may still be appropriate.

I just said to my coworker that I don't have enough time to be at work this week, and she suggested taking Friday off! Brilliant! I really don't think I'm going to have anything to do that day anyway, work-wise, and as she pointed out, I can do some stuff from home if there's anything that's actually urgent.

My unit's director brought in Bailey's-laced chocolate truffles. All is forgiven. Not that I have a lot to forgive him for. He's actually building up a fair bit of credit.

I went back to sleep for a bit after my meeting ended. I am less homicidal. (Also, there may have been doughnuts.)

Hooray for non-homicidal doughnuts!

I'm off FB for the week per NAACP boycot, I may be even chattier than usual. Be warned.

Yay doughnuts!

The boycott is a full week? Dang I didn't notice that somehow, I thought it was a day.

I didn't know about the NAACP thing at all, but it looks like just today, which means I already didn't comply at all. Ooops.

Yeah, I didn't know about the NAACP boycott, either. Sorry. I don't usually cross picket lines.

The thing I saw yesterday said a week, now I'm seeing just today. I may stay off for the week just because I already had that in my head. You could make one last post about it and stay off the rest of the day if you wanted.

I have been thinking about the various "day without" social media thingies that I did NOT take part in and why this feels different to me. I think it's that somehow the framing reminded me that we users are not FB's customers, we are their commodity, and logging out interrupts their supply chain and decreases their value to their customers. So it would need to really be a mass movement to have impact, I guess, but considering how tightly they track analytics maybe even a relatively small blip will get some attention.

I am terrible at boycotting, but didn't even know about this one.
