Social Networks and Blogging: Rule #1

Today I was reminded why you don't blog about work, vendors, co-workers, clients, etc. It can only lead to being dooced. Right or wrong, your employer can fire you for being an idiot online.

So, just remember. If you are about to write a long entry about your job... don't. No one cares, and everyone's job sucks now and again. It's the nature of work. Also, it makes you a shitty blogger or member of a social network. If you have nothing more relevant to say than "My job/client/boss is an ass." Please, I'm begging you, think about changing your life's dream from being a writer to being a miserable human being. It will save all of us a lot of time.
