Yet I'm one of those old (38) souls (or old farts?) that really appreciates hand-written thank-you cards. what does it all mean?

It was me who wrote that comment. :) My profile has been like this since Saturday or maybe Friday night. I've sent over 3 bug reports and nothing!!! I hope they'll fix it today.. Because they acknowledged the problem on their Facebook Fan Page and the wrote: "We hope we'll be able to fix it in the next 24 hours" That gave me a little relief. And maybe it is weird, but I LOVE the wall posts on my birthday and my friends' wishes because many and many of my friends do not live in the same country as me, we can't meet face to face, and we do not communicate through phone because of many probs we faced in the past... Unfortunately, Facebook is the only way we can keep in touch and communicate and they can't even access my profile. I just hope my profile will be fixed as soon as possible. I'm turning 20 btw :) xxx Hi Andrea.. It was me who wrote that comment. :)

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:16:56 +0000 http://andreajames.net/?p=271#comment-287 Being only marginally older than Joe (30)...I find it interesting that some individuals feel it is acceptable to call out of work via a text message. What happened to calling the boss and leaving a real message or waiting until the office was open to tell someone personally that you will be out sick? Some of these communication differences are generational, but even some older generations (baby boomers) are starting to become active in the social networking world (facebook & myspace). Ahh...what the internet has done to us. Being only marginally older than Joe (30)…I find it interesting that some individuals feel it is acceptable to call out of work via a text message.

I found it normal, for his generation, that he didn't call. But then I realized how some people might be offended by happy birthday texts, and so I forgave him. To him, it was just normal. And his college age friends all found it normal too. (He's 20.) Joe S., No I’m with you — sort of. I found it normal, for his generation, that he didn’t call.

Context matters more to some people than to others. It's also interesting to see how quickly the norm for communication mediums has changed across demographics.
