No Offense to All I Hate

I was just reading about a report about how blogs and other "internet networking tools" are influencing the reputations of young people.

My favourite part was talking about a young women who made a comment on her Facebook about going to her "skanky job" and "doing nothing", forgetting that her boss is one of her Facebook contacts. Smart move there. But the real idea behind the article was that young people are being judged by employers for what they have written on their blogs and what they do on Facebook or MySpace - all that sort of stuff.

It got me thinking "What would my employers think of what I've written?"

Can't say I would ever be too worried; what I write in my blogs is what I want to write - no matter how ludicrous it is. And as I have proved to myself in the past, I will defend what I have written. But then I remembered that my main employers are based in Seattle. Yes that Seattle - the one in the good ol' United States of America.

I can't count how many times I have bashed America and everything about them in this blog. I really wonder what they would think about that...

But see, this is why I don't add my colleagues as friends on Facebook; I wouldn't want them to know that I'm on there all day looking for things to do, and throwing chickens at anyone walking past. Because Facebook is real life, with footpaths and roads and chickens I can throw. And did I mention that I'm 7 feet tall, weigh 350 pounds and once wrestled Hulk Hogan for the title of Greatest Rock'n Roller in the Entire History of the Planet Earth?
