I see it coming. So, I have a few minutes to kill (bad expression, I am thinking, now that I see it in print) and I decide to log into Facebook. Yes, its in the middle of a workday- sue me. I work from home and I work long hours, I don't "do lunch" I barely "do" bathroom breaks. The topic of my work ethic aka my inability to be like a normal socially adjusted person is the subject of another blog post. Preferably written by someone other than me so I can reasonably deny all knowledge of my true self.
BUT ANYWAY- I log into FB. I see a whole host of others with whom I work also logged in, making entries, updating their statuses (stati?), and doing who knows what all on company time. I forsee an entirely new IT job description "Facebook Police". They already have the ability to monitor all emails and other stuff...soon they will be monitoring when and for how long we logged into our social networking sites to post our latest "Its sunny and I'm heading for the weekend!" status, or tweeting, linking, surfing, scrolling or goshallmighty just plain reading. I feel myself justifying my 10 minute jaunt on FB by saying, well, at least I wasn't logged in as long as "SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS" and at least I was smart enough not to make a TIME STAMPED ENTRY. Yeah, I beat the FB police this time. Whew.
Its kind of like when NJ put the EZPass system in- it could actually calculate the time it took for someone to travel between toll booths, and if that time was deemed "too short"- the EZPass holder was issued a speeding ticket. Urban legend? I think not.
Ok. I think I am safe to press the "publish" button. Its after 5 pm....somewhere.
