So I finally got around to practicing what I preach this month, and opened up both Facebook and Twitter accounts.
 
Okay, so Admin helped me, pointing out that the Fin kitchen crew was actually doing more than I was with the social media tools I’ve been pushing on them and that the best leaders lead by example.
 
For once, I found myself on the receiving end of his incredible lack of irony and sarcasm, the beneficiary of one of the few habits I’ve hated about him from day one.
 
Yes, it was humbling, almost as much as finding that even Fin’s dishwasher is already on Facebook, and on Twitter, too.
 
He was kind enough to remember me & friend me, as did Telulah, their super cute little bartender. They both have a bunch of friends and conversations going on, and here I am just starting out, trying to think of other people I know in business to get in touch with, since my friends won’t go near this stuff.
 
I guess no one that wealthy really wants their details passed around these days; too much cause for resentment, maybe.
 
So here I’m caught in the middle, not set up enough to stay private, not enough other connections to lead my clients by example.
 
Some marketing guru, huh?

    I walked for a few hours in the snow that day in those flats. I walked until my feet were fucking blue in penance for my own stupidity without thinking of what to do to help myself, in shock and anger and all the rest of the seven steps. I walked and tripped on my [...]

    I get to make dumb Beatles allusions this time of year because I share my birthday with John Lennon, and while I’m not a big Beatles’ fan, I confess there was a time where the eternal piano notes of “Imagine” soundtracked every lonely cigarette drag and disappointed stare into the distance. Besides, I love it [...]

    October 2nd, 2010
    Back when I started this project for Fin and started writing this blog, I kept my boyfriend at the time out of it because he wasn’t wild about being the subject of published commentary like the various characters chronicled coupling with Georgina on her blog, and at the time I had a great deal of [...]

  • Down the slippery slope- part 1
    October 1st, 2010
    Everyone seemed to have a good laugh over the kitchen sink incident, so I’m going to pick up there with a typical push back: its not really my fault everyone on my whole floor lost their water service for several days over the next few weeks, or that the family below me ended up with [...]

  • God damn cliches.
    September 30th, 2010
    The first thing I’m going to say is, the last six months didn’t go at all according to plan- not even close- and that the don’t-try-this-at-home incident of re-plumbing the kitchen sink in my last post was just the beginning. The second thing is that most of it really wasn’t very funny, but I will try [...]
