Last week, I joined LinkedIn. This was done to further my job opportunities and broaden my “connections.” I do not do facebook, and for a reason. Is there such a thing as being too connected? I do not need everyone knowing my status. Everyone I care about knows my status, “Unemployed.” I would like to update that status to “Employed,” so I joined LinkedIn, where, presumably, work may be found.
Well, so far, it seems eerily similar to facebook….I find myself having to approve or accept these invitations…what happens if I don’t accept your invitation? Do you blacklist me? Put a “frown” face next to my name on some list? So far, I’m up to 19 connections…some of these people I am not sure I know, but out of fear of reprisal I accept these invitations. I am going to have to draw a line in the sand somewhere….maybe 25 connections, and that’s it! I’ll have to put a “Full” emoticon next to my name so people know I am booked up.
So last night I went for a bike ride with my group, we ride twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday nights, but we are losing daylight so I won’t have too many more nights of this. My little bike computer gizmo told me I burned 1049 calories based on my heartrate/speed/distance. So, I quickly arranged it so I could replace those “lost” calories immediately. Please see below.
Fat Free goodness...well, not really fat "free"
So you had all if that in your cabinets?
I didn’t have to pick up anything to create that masterpiece…even the sprinkles! Oink!
