No More Social Networking

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 | Author: Vivek

Yes! That’s right. Enough of Social Networking. I have decided to quit Orkut n FaceBook. I thought of deleting both my Orkut and FaceBook Profiles. But, then again, creating a new profile will be a pain in the back, just in case i change my decision!

I am not Politically or Morally against Orkut or FaceBook like Tom Hodgkinson or Techno Llama (But I completely agree with both of them) nor I would say i am not interested in social networking at all. It has been Good for certain things. I might even come back after a few months. But as of now, i am just going to stay away from it.

I estimate that for me Orkut/Facebook easily eats up at least half an hour a day. That’s more than 180 hours a year. Quite some time! I have lots and lots of other stuff that need my attention. My time is so valuable you know. Therefore, I am just downsizing!!!

Why I joined Orkut?

  • Helped me Connect with a few of my old buddies
  • Everyone else in the World joined.

Why i am quitting Orkut?

  • It is Eating my Precious Precious Time
  • Too much Hype
  • Groucho 2.0 Rule
  • I just feel it is a Public Popularity Contest
  • I Got Bored with it

That’s it for now. I would like to hear from others who also have quit or decided to quit Orkut/FaceBook.

PS: You can always follow me in less Intrusive and Unnerving Social Media, such as this Blog.

To Quit or Not to Quit

Friday, September 05th, 2008 | Author: Vivek

Yea… This is what i was thinking about all these days…

At least now, i have found an answer! Am Not Quitting this Job until i change my mind again! :D

After thinking over it Day In and Day Out, i found that my reasons for Not Quitting out weighed the reasons for Quitting. I was actually thinking of quitting last week. Well, it cud have been because i had fever last week and was very tired and exhausted. I found the job to be too tiring. And that maybe because i was new to everything. Now, that i got used to it, i have a different view on all that. I feel like how stupid i was to think of quitting for all those silly reasons.

These days its so cool to take calls. I have got used to the tools and softwares that i am supposed to use on calls and the irate customers no longer bother me. I jus’ escalate the call to my supervisor and enjoy them listening to whatever dash the customers say. I look at my supervisor when he’s taking the sup call and say “Why Blood?! Yea… Same Blood!”

If i Quit i will be Happy for a Week or two and again i start getting bored of doing nothing or tired of roaming out with friends. And it does not sound good or even worse |very much embarrassing| to say ‘I am sitting at home after finishing my BE/Waiting for DoJ’ when someone asks me ‘What U doin’ these days?!’

And i feel that it will give you some kind of secured feeling. That you belong to some group. And i sure can do something with the Money i earn rather than being at home and asking for money from my parents every time i go out of house.

After considering all these things, i have decided to stay put for some more time…! Until i change my mind again! ;)
