I had a job I *hated*, and this tiny little personal blog that I thought only my friends read... Well, when I finally got a new job and vented on the blog about how rubbish and stupid my boss was (using his name - what was I thinking?), a friend of his read it whilst surfing on employee names. And send it to him. I wouldn't have minded so much if he'd confronted me face to face, but he got all his friends to mailblat my blog with obscene messages, and in the end I just shut it down rather than have the hassle. The stupid thing is that he denied the whole thing, despite me being able to track his IP address. *sigh* Never again! I do still keep a personal blog as well as my professional one, but I filter what goes on there *very* tightly, and password protect anything beyond "what a nice day, I think I'll eat some icecream" :-) Oooh, yes, I understand this one totally.

And just don't accidentally email your boss a link to the skiving post :) Hi Kirsty, I guess you can file that review under ‘honest opinion’.

Oops. But that's different because I would have said the same stuff to their face. The place was crap. I just wrote a post about skiving at work on my blog... here's hoping my manager never moseys on over there for a read.

In fact here in America we have some commercials regarding the problem of cyber bullying which seems to be a growing problem in our schools. Unfortunately I also believe that this problem is creeping into the adults of our society as well. It is unfortunate and sad situation. shona,
