Personal vs. Work on Social Media

Dear pipsqueaks,

After enduring a very tiring day of meetings, I think I'm just about done with what everyone else thinks. Right now, it's what I'm thinking that is most important. It's ME time. Then again, some people don't think that is possible - to have a personal and work life, where a clear line can be drawn. Well, why not? It's not as if we're Hollywood superstars that are under the spotlight all the time. If that is the case, then yes, most likely you will not be able to have a personal life. However, this is obviously NOT the case with us. You really think people care so much as to taking us to court for the things we say? Of course not! As if we're that important! Please.

Mostly, the debate was regarding the use of Social Media.
Two things:

  1. whether we should be able to speak our minds
  2. whether multiple profiles can do the trick

2014 Thomas & Uber Cup Finals - New Delhi

Dear Pipsqueaks,

Now that I finally get a day off with nothing on the programme - no minutes or places I have to be - I can update! I was really hoping just to sit and enjoy the matches, but NOOOO, some people cannot let me at peace even though my boss had already requested for me to stay off Social Media for this event. Fine, it's not like I've never done it before - so, challenge accepted. Except, I didn't know it would be SUCH a challenge.

Apparently, the stadium is sitting in an ex-military base that limits network in general. Hence, inconsistency with wifi and even phone coverage. Otherwise, I would have just used data roaming, but it's literally like some crazy force field. Once you enter the Field of Play, even if the wifi network shows up, it'll spend seconds being connected, then off, then on, then off, then on. My phone, which was constantly plugged into my portable charger, stayed below 30% simply because it kept trying to get me on a network. Ridiculous I tell you. Though, we did kind of knew it would happen. We are in India after all.
