There was an Olympics ? But seriously, for the first time in my life I didn’t watch a single second of coverage. This is sad because when I was a kid, the Olympics, especially Winter, were huge in my house. The whole family would get together to watch. They were always politicized, protests in ’68, boycotts in ’80 and ’84 but it just seems nastier now. I’m old and tired and just can’t give a shit anymore. It all seems like a big waste of money and resources now.
I’m 24 hours into a self imposed FB “fast”. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be. It has become my primary means of communication between distant family, HS and college friends and dog rescue groups. I’m almost at the point where I’d be willing to reactivate my account just to post something so ludicrous that it would get me a forced ban. But being able to reactivate at any time and not doing so tests my own “comfort crisis”.
I’ve been a volunteer at my local animal shelter (One of the largest municipal shelters in the country) for the last 7 years. I just started my retirement career as a Veterinary Assistant. I am very well aware of the crazy that exist within the rescue community and even bear the scars of dealing with aggressive dogs that should have been put down but weren’t due to pressure from misguided rescue groups. That being said, I also deal with some very professional organizations that do a great job, but unfortunately FB is the fastest way to get info out there to potential fosters and adopters.
