Just ask for what you want. I requested a six-month break from Facebook to visit my parents; I asked to switch projects. I told my husband it was time to get married after six years of dating!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I started Facebook from my dorm room in 2004, the idea that my roommates and I talked about all the time was a world that was more open.
Working with a lot of people at the same time is a task. I really like making stuff and getting stuff done. One of the things I really liked about Facebook was that I could always move so quickly. I wrote the original application in, like, nine days at the end of January.
Back in high school, I went on dates, but I was too focused on my career. My parents were like, 'It's nice to have a boyfriend, but it's even nicer to own your house when you're 21.'
The best part of working with Facebook has been the cross-fertilization of ideas, people, and technology.
I don't know about relationships. Maybe I'm supposed to travel and make films and meet people and have adventures instead.
My hiatus timeline is so minimal, there's only a select number of projects that I can go in for.
As you get older, the questions come down to about two or three. How long? And what do I do with the time I've got left?
I am on sabbatical as of right now, been too busy to think of about my OWN needs as of late.
I wouldn't know how to be on Facebook if my life depended on it.
It was a precondition to leaving Facebook that I wasn't going to start something that was just about chasing money.
