As I do every Thursday morning, I just visited my hometown newspaper's online website. One of the stories in this week's edition has the following headline:
"Social media expert to lead workshops Monday"
Are you kidding me?
How does one become a "social media expert?" What schooling is required for such a prestigious career?
How do you get paid for teaching people how to use Facebook or Twitter? Does it really take an expert to know how to create a group or page for your business on a social networking site?
The biggest joke of all is that Prince Edward County is flying this expert in from Tampa, no doubt on the tax payer's dime. Oh, and the workshop costs over $100 for a day. That is a lot of dough that can be saved by, oh, I don't know, just asking your teenage kid how to set up a Facebook account.
What a waste of time and money.

I wish you would smarten up, move back here and run for office. Im being serious, not that Dave Mckenzie shit, but I really think you could run on a platform of common sense, and the smart ones left in the county would come out in droves to vote for ya!
ReplyDeleteRun that up the flag-pole. I'd salute it!
do it rosey.... I'm seriously considering a run for a council seat in 2011 here in Toronto. the incumbent is an old tool that's invisible in the community. he's treating the job as semi-retirement.
