Shameless self-promotion. This has become a personal theme for the week!
People -- especially online -- learn how to straddle the line between self-promotion, and being irritating.
I've often heard an old saying: "It ain't braggin' if it's true." Well, first of all, your grammar is atrocious. But also, yes, yes it is, IF YOU SPEAK OF NOTHING ELSE. So those folks (who are oblivious to who they are) are on my short-list.
Today's deletion isn't a braggart, but she sure is a marketer! Used to be a co-worker, and a familiar face... even had her 15 minutes as a brief political celebrity back in 2004. Super cool chick, funny, bold, empowered, yadda yadda. I connected with her again a little over a year ago, which was unexpected. We became social-media acquaintances.
And then she opened a restaurant (congrats! yay!) and is one of my few friends who posts every day. It's Burger Night! It's Chili Day! Kids Eat Free!
I'll need to make a reservation, because it would be a damn shame to drive 1600 miles and have to wait for a table.
Please, please, please... start a business page, and give me the choice to opt in to hear about all the "great specials." You are not your job.
And... you've been 86'd.
