And the debate rages on...

So, those of you who read this blog are probably deathly sick of my indecision concerning Facebook. Some days I believe it is my duty as a new, technologically savvy librarian to join the ranks and explore an unknown social universe replete with new and old connections. Other days, I cannot stand the idea of having to spend another several hours in front of my computer to update, maintain, and post on other peoples’ pages (if that’s even how it works…). Also, I will forever find the distinction between friendship and “friendship” troubling. After hearing some people talk about it today I remain undecided (again): connecting with people = good…connecting with people that I would rather not talk to, but who have been mutually sought out for the purpose of adding another “friend” = not so good.

How can my friendship values be balanced within the boundaries of Facebook? Although I would not have to talk to everyone on my list, I would feel incredibly rude for not adding them. I’m not anti-social by any means, but I remain undecided.

On another note: I now spend far too much time reading Unshelved, laughing quietly to myself, and thinking “omg…it’s so true!” I don't know if I remember what people are wearing, but after awhile you do start to remember the books that people have checked out, especially with the regular patrons. Did I mention that I LOVE my job? *smile*
