The perils of Facebook

The big danger of FB is putting up professionally damaging notes. One kinda gets into the rhythm of putting up every little thing going on — including the things one does (and probably should not do) when less than fully sensible.

The wife & I hosted some family for dinner, they left, we went to Goodwill for a customer appreciation night. I was lit up so my wife drove. We got there, she went in and I got out and started walking laps around the parking lot. Yeap — I put that up on FB — worded in a manner to sound worse than what it was. I don’t believe I have suffered any harm from that one, but it led to me to think a lot more about what I put up prior to publishing things.
