My Internet has been down...argh!!! I am just a little frustrated with my service provider but I have no other choice since I live in the country or boondocks, take your pick!
So, the Internet was down for 24 hours and after a severe withdrawal/panic attack, I am now re-connected with the rest of the world via the www!! Praise the Lord and pass the biscuits -- life is good once again.
As I logged onto my favorite site, "mybook,facespace", I was looking through the profile of a new facebook friend and discovered some interesting facts. First of all, let me say that through this really unique networking site I have been lucky enough to be reunited with friends and family members, lots of old high school and college chums, some elementary school friends, and past and present co-workers. I have so much fun seeing how we are all connected in this world...it is a really small place! Just a for instance, I have tons of cousins on one side of my family and really only one first cousin on the other. Through facebook I have learned that my one cousin went to high school with and is friends with a cousin on the other side and they never knew they had me as a connection -- how wild is that!!
Anyway....back to my point... I was looking at one of my "new" facebook friend's profile and discovered that this person worked in two places that I used to frequent ALL THE TIME, during the time she worked there! The chances of me running into this person in real life years before we have become "cyber" facespace friends is great! It just kinda blows my mind.
It makes me realize how important it is to treat everyone we come in contact with during our day with the same respect and courtesy we treat our best friends. You just never know when one day, you will be friends with that customer service rep or waiter or cashier. They may be someone you never meet again, but then, they may turn out to be your best friend, in the cyber world or IRL (in real life!!)
