National Laugh at Work Week – starts on April 1 (April 1-7, 2011)
I am social. I am geeky. I am connected… all the time.
I can’t get through the day without someone asking me how I am able to be omnipresent on the web. It’s simple. I am co-dependent on my online life just as much as I am on my offline one. Nah… not really. Kind of.
For a while now, I’ve been tossing the idea of what makes me such a social media addict, and have decided to confess some of the few things that qualify me as such. Most people who know me already know these things, but I don’t mind making myself vulnerable by putting pen to paper and listing them out for all to see. You can take them as confessions… or you can take it as a way to confirm your own addiction — and I KNOW there are those of you out there who are just like me — don’t worry, I won’t make you stand up. Anyway, here goes… (please … no judging!!)
