Oh yeah, and if you were wondering, Facebook friends aren't usually friends either.
I'm just waiting for the shit to fly at my face. The shit I will soon be getting for 'de-friending' people from work. It's not that I don't like the people I work with...wait, actually, it is and I don't. I kid, I kid. But the fact is work should not be mixed with whatever else it is you do in your life.
I made the mistake of becoming friends on Facebook with several of my co-workers. With some it has worked out fine. We sort of bitch about the same things, there is the occasional inside joke and when in the office we can actually have a conversation versus passing each other in the hallway and sharing an ackward hello. Other people however like to use Facebook as a stalking mechanism and although that is what Facebook was originally invented for I don't need some co-workers knowing what I am doing at any given time.
I made the mistake of writing "my place of employment has officially killed my spirit" as my status. People who actually know me thought it was funny and also sort of true. A faux, strictly Facebook friend made the comment "is she really sick or is she just sick of work?" First of all, yes, I was out for two hours one morning. Secondly, yes I was really sick, but I actually love work so much that I just couldn't stay away. Thirdly, we don't need to be making those comments and thus we cannot be friends even in a virtual setting.
My advice, keep work as far away from your life as possible.
