Thanks for this post. I only wish I'd found it before I left for my own ambivalent vacation!

I too fought a losing battle with a company I was a part of. It is hard to give and give only to know that you are underappreacated and undervalued. You did what you could and in the end you were the bigger person who didn't cause a scene when you left...yes, karma does come back to bite you in the ass sometimes.

Friending your boss

Denise — Mon, 12 May 2008 17:17:27 -0500

I can see situations in my world when I would not have wanted to friend my boss - or my coworkers. Then of course there's the whole problem of trying to keep a blog "anonymous" so your boss and your coworkers don't read it - because sometimes you just have to blog about your boss

errr, not me. I neverrrrrr blog about my boss. OK OK fine, I do but I only say nice things. But that's because I only have nice things to say. What happens if I have less than nice things to say? What happens if I need to vent .... I can't, not really. It would be wrong and I just would not do it.

Because I work "here", my work life and my "social networking life" are one in the same. I'm cool with that.

I'd love to talk about previous jobs, and social networking in relationship to those former bosses and coworkers but... nah. Some of them are reading right now.

My boss introduced me to Facebook

Vered — Mon, 12 May 2008 12:04:53 -0500

I accepted his invitation and discovered Facebook.

I don't think it's a big deal. I don't consider my Facebook account as "private", any more than I consider my blog as private. I think it's a mistake to rely on the privacy features of online social networks. I only ever post PG-type stuff anyway, and I would NEVER complain about my boss in writing - not even on email.

I twittered this

Hoping some folks I know will find it useful. I think they will, if they read it and really think about it.

That alarm clock thing....

Denise — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 18:28:18 -0500

Sounds like a pretty ok meeting about your performance and future.

Now about that alarm clock thing, I left my alarm clock in the office on Thursday so when it went off, I didn't hear it. This means I woke up 10 minutes late - no big deal, really - except it totally threw me off. I wasn't behind schedule or anything, it just felt like I was. I really hate that.

Consumer debt is a black hole

Kristina,

This is a really good post. Thanks for all the great links.

By the way, one of our contributors at Queercents wrote about knowing your rights as a debtor. It's helpful for those that have become buried by credit card debt. Of course, best not to get in trouble in the first place, but if it happens then there are ways to become Almost Debt Free.
