Sometimes you have to be careful what you post on the Internet. It's very true that whatever you say or do on the Internet can be used against you. Especially the workplace. I've learned by past experience that as great it is to have this freedom of speech, sometimes it's not always the best. Yes I have got in trouble before of what I posted online. Of course when you first try to be this blogger or writer you want people to read your work. You pass it around, forwarding links to your colleagues not really thinking twice of where it will get in the hands of. The blog entry was basically a rant of how I'm not fond of a supervisor, of course that is exactly who it got to. It's not like I was beating around the bush I mentioned names, status, class, and physical appearance. (Actually, you would be able to find that entry if you go back some years on this blog) Luckily it didn't really hurt me too badly at work as that person has moved to a new department but I was sure I was closely monitored for a while waiting for my little screw ups at work to kick me out of there...
As much as I love social networking, blogging, Twitter, Facebook, I feel almost like I still can't express myself fully because I'm so aware that people are reading and I don't want to offend people and I don't want another work incident. Perhaps this is a reason I'm so into Anthony Bourdain right now, he's a writer loves food and has a "I don't give a fuck" attitude. I think I really need to get out of this corporate desk job and work someplace or for myself where being me is all it takes for me to move ahead.
