It's now been 3 months no contact with Boss. Yes, I have checked his wife's Facebook, but nothing new there. She really doesn't post much. Our old team usually has an annual conference in town. All the managers fly in for it. We used to attend, and I looked forward to it because it was a week in office that we got to spend together. I still chat with folks from the old team, since I still work at the same company. There's a 50/50 chance of them having the conference this year. If so, they will probably all go to dinner one night. The invite would be extended to both of us to join, and we would both go. Other than that possibility, I think I'm just going to wait for a work related reason/question for him and reach out. Hopefully that will start a conversation. 1/2 - cont'd

Hmm.. Interesting.. That sucks that you haven't talked to him in so long. Do you ever stalk his wife on Facebook anymore?

…then today our granddaughter FaceTimed us so we could talk to our four-year-old great grandson. Volume wouldn’t work and we had to give up after several tries. Ten minutes later his mom posted a video on Facebook of him saying ‘I can’t find my PawPaw and GiGi’.

Boss doesn't really do social media, but I stalked his wife's Facebook page. Pathetic, I know. And she seems absolutely lovely, inside and out. Dammit.

Loving these updates, thanks OP!! Sounds like something is definitely up with him. Did you try any Facebook stalking of him or his wife to look for clues?

Guess I got my wish…finally got the nerve to get stuff for Thanksgiving. Literally five minutes after I posted something about the store on facebook, my family member cancelled! Other plans or some BS. I was SO pissed! After I ranted to DH about it, I decided we should donate everything to the women’s shelter in our town, then immediately felt better. Ten minutes later he tells me he invited our widowed neighbor to dinner! Does he not get it that I’m a fucking wreck?? Can’t uninvite her, can’t run away. FML

You guys. Have you ever been in a facebook group where you don't really know anyone and you assume, from someone's verbiage and spelling that English isn't their first language? And then you creep just a little on their profile and find out they were, like, born and raised in Nevada or Delaware or something? And, you know, then you sort of lose a little more of your faith in humanity? Yeah, me either.

This is so cool. A couple of years ago when I did a local Rock n Roll 1/2 marathon, one of the official photographers took a picture of me rockin' out to one of the bands. They used that photo to promo the following year's 1/2 marathon. Guess what! They are using it again! I was scrolling around facebook, and and ad for the 2022 race came up, and there I was. Not only did seeing the photo put me in a really good mood, it reminded me how much better I feel when I'm 10 pounds lighter, like I was then. Today when I go to the store I'm buying half the bread and double the veggies. Just 'cos I'm closing in on 50 doesn't mean I have to feel old!

Why is it some kind of "breaking news" that Facebook puts profits before people???? Duh, of course they do! That's why they exist!!!!

Sometimes I feel quite certain that I'm a bridge troll who's just fooling everyone into thinking I'm a normal human. Then sometimes I make a post in one of my facebook groups and get an outpouring of likes and comments about how I'm amazing... and then I just get really confused and wonder if I have imposter syndrome... [posted on FB a pic of a craft project I made and a new yoga pose I learned- and was shocked by how impressed people were. I mean, don't they know.. can't they tell... that I'm actually a bridge troll?]
