OMGoodness! I got locked out of facebook! I read online that it might take a few days to weeks before they give me my new password. How will I cope without daily access to my 500 plus friends? A few friends are in limbo because they are waiting to be added and a few have invited me to events BUT I CAN'T ACCESS THE INFORMATION. What to do?



I'm locked out.



This feeling that I am experiencing reminds me of when I first moved to Montreal, snagged a job at a high-end international retail clothing boutique and then subsequently (through no fault of my own) got laid off. There was a recession back then too.



I remember that I was so used to the morning routine of prepping my hair, makeup and clothing for work that I felt lost when I had nowhere to go after the layoff. I was in denial. I would go back to the boutique, stare in the windows to look at all the new merchandise and lament my loss of employment. It's kinda like what I'm doing now...with facebook. I keep going back to the site with the intention of logging on but I keep getting the same message.



Denial. I'm in denial. I'll admit it.



Maybe tomorrow I'll get my new password and life as I know it will be back to normal.
