Several, several months ago I had a former work friend (that got laid off last year) on my Facebook; although we never really chatted or commented on each other's pages on a regular basis, I still considered this person a friend of sort. Sometime after my parents died and my husband deployed I noticed that this 'friend' (Friend X) never recognized the traumatic changes in my life. In the midst of my grief and depression I received a message on FB that simply said "When am I going to get called back to work"? What?? I deleted this person - I do not care to discuss my job or work conditions on FB.
Last week I was surprised to see this person again wanted to be my "Friend". What the Hell... I accepted Friend X...the first message was "What's going on at XYZ Company? I wrote back..."Nothing". Person X wrote, "Any word on when I may get to be called back"? To say I was disappointed does not begin to tell how I felt. I again deleted this peron without responding and will never again accept his/her friend request. I understand that person X is curious about a job...but I work M-F, 8am-5pm and they have the number.
Then today..someone that I had deleted at one time (just because I got tired of person B's sensless ramblings) 'friends' me again. Sure, why not - I can always hide her. Sure enough - I get a message on FB asking me to help his/her son get a job at XYZ Company. Seriously? That's the only reason this person wanted to be my 'friend' was to get her son a job? Hmmm.... I just deleted her message and 'hide' her.
I certainly don't mind being friends with people on facebook..but it just pisses me off when some people have a hidden agenda when they friend you! Some 'friends' just want to look at my pictures and see how I've aged over the past 25 years (I've aged well!!) and troll through my pictures. There's never an exchange of words..they are just curious. Fair enough - I end up deleting them after a while so it's no big deal.
Anyway - there's no real blog here ...just a small vent!
Love, Peace & a Big "Like" Button!
