Well, I joined FB. (again). It is daunting, for me anyhow, when all these pics of people pop up, friends, of friends, mutual friends, who knows who, the events that allegedly people are attending, the posting of photos (some I feel I need to soak my eyeballs in bleach) .... the list goes on and on.
FB, I can say, is good for making contacts with people if you are trying to say, promote stuff...ie: paintings, photos, like I was - I thought that perhaps I could make a few connections, but it just overwhelmed me so much that personally, it is just not for me (at least right now). For those that can, that's cool
I told my SIL that I need to get a job outside the home, whether it be a graveyard shift part time job, it doesn't matter, I need to get out of the house. Well, she suggested FB since once in a while I paint and photograph and she thinks I am good... (jury is still out on that one, lol). She told me to 'follow your passion' - well, painting and all that is not a passion for me; I like it but...I can't keep buying supplies and not sell anything or keeping up a website and promoting it. I'm too old - I need to get serious and have been out of work since 2008 - I think it's time to get a real job. I am going to college but not making much headway since I have topped out my financial aid forever and since SIL and brother divorced, they can no longer afford to pay for college classes. I sure can't on 200.00 a month.
I am a menopausal, mid-life crisis, at a crossroads kinda gal and I don't know which way to go, but I do, I really, really want to be happy again....
I know if I want to bring in chump change every couple months, I can set up shop at places like redbubble, tapiture, etsy, etc. instead of facebook. I also think if I want the pictures and paintings more seriously, facebook is not the way to go.
Also....I've been trying to get out more as I have previously stated in another post, but am finding that friends = money....h:
Then I got pissed the other day - still reeling from it - my SIL said she's going to Disneyland for Memorial Day with friends from work. OK, I don't care about the DL part, it's sticking me with the kids for 4 days while she goes and plays...and the icing was her comment, "I need the break away from the kids"
Really? F .... U ....
OK, so, I got this off my chest - just throwing it out there in the universe.
