farm report

Our new farm is located high in the mountains of New Mexico and workers here really depend on their computers for contact with the outside world. The site of choice to connect is of course the ever popular Facebook. Having the ability to chat, exchange pictures and videos with workers around the world is of course the sparkling sheen attracting our farm workers to the ad filled atmosphere that is Facebook.com. Be advised dear workers , all glitter and sparkle is definately not golden. Witness an account by one of our most vigilant farm employees. After befriending, connecting and exchanging emails with what seemed to be a very talented and interesting individual on Facebook over the course of about a year she innocently invited her virtual friend to visit our mountain farmlands. Quick as a wink her casual invitation was returned with flight information. The virtual visitor arrived some two weeks later with more problems and phobias then a newbie at an AA meeting. Needless to say our poor worker was stressed beyond belief when in her absence her guest rummaged through her desk, plucked a precious momento of her deceased mother wrote upon it a simplistic parting message and vanished. Miss Virtual Visitor did not even say thanks for the memories after an extensive tour of the farm and surrounding countryside, three squares a day and bed and bath. So the moral of this weekend would seem to be the virtual world remains the place where one can be anything one chooses to be. Our manager counters with the fact that she has met many wonderful and gracious people through Facebook, but alas one must be careful.
