wild that I joined Twitter in Oct 2007, a month into my first year of business school, and I already knew I hated it, a solid 30% of my early tweets were about how much I hated it, and I did four years anyway. sometimes I wonder if that’s why I’m so willing to hit da bricks when jobs go bad now lol
