I am aware of my shortcomings . . .
I don’t blog a lot. At least not as much as some of my friends (but I won’t name names *cough*blackbeltbarbie and steeldreams *cough*). I feel bad about this sometimes because I know I’m certainly not any more busy than either of these two ladies . . . but then something comes along and makes me glad I don’t.
Turns out that a girl I know — no need to name names, let’s just say her first name is similar to my own — was fired from a job — no need to name jobs, let’s just say it’s for a company that I am familiar with — for posting on her livejournal. Her personal livejournal. Which was set to “friends only.” And which never actually named the company that she was working for. Now I’m certainly no lawyer type, but I don’t really know if a company can legally fire someone for writing an entry which isn’t specifically defamatory (I’ve read said post, it was just venting about the job and how she doesn’t much like it, but again names no names and doesn’t mention the name of the company), and indeed they turned around and without explanation hired her back a week or so later.
SO, you will notice that this entry is locked to friends, so it won’t find itself published on AshRhodes.com. Further, I probably won’t be talking about my job pretty much at all anymore. Better to be safe than sorry when you need your job!
Take care everyone and in general I must cry out DAMN THE MAN!
