I *am* getting paid to keep an eye on social media---sadly, it has become the cheapest marketing tool out there so I have to make sure the client's posts are shared, then translated and shared again. But, come the weekend/after hours, I truly step away and don't touch my devices. So, here's a big apology to all friends who feel abandoned because I don't send frequent emails. Really, I think of all of you a lot, but I have to give my fingers, my brain and my soul a break.
We can’t follow everyone and respond to everything because we’d have time for nothing else! The translation part of your job sounds interesting. (I’m still playing around with languages trying to get them up to speed, or better anyway. The variations in the grammar and construction rules and norms fascinate me.)
Sounds lovely. The push to get emails read every day sometimes becomes a real burden. Maybe I can take a day off from that now and then. (I've avoided most social media and still am overwhelmed!)
I think you have a lot of company! Be we as human beings did not sign up to have our lives taken over by social media. It was supposed to be a help, a convenience, even a new frontier for people to connect directly and understand each other. (That was a very long time ago!) Yes, please give yourself a day off sometimes, or even more days.
I like to really confuse my coworkers and call the "hamburger icon" the "trigram for heaven" icon. It's also what the unicode character for the same is called!
Good for you! I also am a big fan of the I Ching, which is full of wisdom. My mother was a Jungian enthusiast and he was way into it, so I was introduced to at about age 14. And I road tested it later by throwing about a thousand hexagrams asking whether a particular person would ever fall in love with me. The answer was always a resounding "No!"-- accurate, and pretty unlikely according to the law of averages.
