It is so difficult sometimes to remember to keep people at arm's length at work.

They reorganized the company based on his departure and organized him out of a job. At 64 he can't even get an interview. Glad to hear you are trying to teach your students about the dangers of facebook. Maybe a couple of them are listening.

Can't imagine that will work out well. Plus there are those radio hosts that have tweeted really stupid things and have lost their jobs. To be honest I haven't updated my personal facebook account in over a year. I use it to see photos of my nieces and nephews and keep up with friends who don't live close by.

Yes, we were friends at work, but it's a different and less personal kind of friendship. And as for the internet, I've never put anything online about where I worked. Not even in my Facebook profile. I just feel better keeping work completely separate from my personal life.Mandi Noelhttp://www.thecardiganconfessions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-84144207938630440002013-09-07T12:29:01.179-05:002013-09-07T12:29:01.179-05:00Ugh.

A neighbor told his boss he was retiring in a year in order to give the company time to replace him. He was fired since he wouldn't be concentrating on his job. Ouch. I am retiring in a year and told my boss. He said they would start looking six months ahead since I would be hard to replace.
