Or, I shouldn’t be given so much responsibility
If you don’t know what Google Wave is my friend Omar wrote a really good article to explain.
I woke up this morning to find an invite to Google Wave in my inbox. Better, I got to nominate 8 people to receive invitations, too. Now, I have no idea how this works, if they automatically put folks that were nominated on the short list to get an invite or if there is a screening process or what. Although you know, I don’t think that they can be looking at potential members that closely as I got an invite before my husband did.
Not that I am trying to rub it in or anything.
Of course, I had to invite my husband first, so that’s one down. But, you know, he’s always busy with “work” and Wave is useless, USELESS to me if I don’t have people to use it with that actually make time for me at all hours and are HAPPY to talk to me about my very important stuff so I invited the 6 people who are in my main email conversation gang. We already bullied them all into getting Gmail because we were afraid they’d stop accepting our emails once they figured out we can spit them out at the rate of 20-50 an hour.
I wish I were exaggerating, but no, between the 6 of us we can put out hundreds of emails on just the topic of jeggings alone. Never mind the acres of conversation on what that bitch did. And if you are that bitch, you know you were wrong for that. So wrong.
Clearly, I NEED them to get an invitation to the most wonderful innovation in online communication since Gmail. I know you are reading this Google so please, please, please let my friends in today so we can be cool together. Thank you and thanks for giving me so many opportunities to learn how to get whiter teeth! YOU ROCK!
Seven invitations down and one to go, which is where I am totally and completely stuck. Do I give it to my brother OR my sister OR my dad OR my mom? One of my fellow bloggers? Life coach Tim so he can snort at it? Random person on Twitter?
I mean, because I don’t want to waste it on somebody who won’t use it and I don’t want to give it to somebody and somebody else finds out and they start badmouthing me on plain, old-fashioned email and I don’t want to give it away and then not have any.
I just don’t want it to be over. I don’t want to have none.
I might get more, I might not. Dangit, I just don’t know what to do. What do I do? Because I don’t want to know what will happen if I make the wrong choice. I’m just not that strong, my friends.
While I try to figure this out, please take a second to vote for me again. I’m already up to 174 votes. So many thanks to those that voted and helped spread the word through Twitter, Facebook and email. It’s humbling and exhilarating to know how many people are willing to help, if you just ask.
And if you make a good case for yourself in comments, I might be persuaded to hand over the last invite. Or I might not. As you can see, I’m pretty attached to it. Also have no idea if it helps or hurts to get a nomination from me, so it’s a gamble.
