"What NOT to Post on Twitter"

Posted by Diane Pfadenhauer: "The following list was intended as, perhaps, comedic advice to job seekers about what NOT to post on Twitter.  I might suggest that this list be observed by the currently employed as well, lest they quickly join the ranks of the unemployed:

1. Never talk about how you get drunk at work!
2. Avoid telling everyone how much you hate your job!
3. Never call your boss names.
4. Don't talk about how you called in sick when you weren't really sick!
5. Refrain from sharing that you just failed your drug test.
6. It's definitely not a good idea to steal from work and brag about it on Twitter.
7. Never Tweet about taking naps and playing on the internet instead of working.
8. Don't talk about getting in trouble at work !
9. Don't tweet about tricking your boss!
10. No one needs to know you are sleeping with the boss.
11. Do not admit to creating mix tapes at work when you are supposed to be working.
12. Don't talk about how your boss doesn't know he's paying you to watch tv!
13. Announcing that you are quitting without giving notice won't impress future employers.
14. Don't tweet about being 2 hours late for work because you're still hung over from the night before.
15. Don't tweet about wanting to blow up your office.
16. Don't tweet about lying on your job application or resume.
17. Don't talk about reading other people's mail.
18. Don't talk about your coworker's or boss's body.
19. Don't talk about doing drugs at work.
20. Don't broadcast you just got fired or even worse why you got fired.
 

Thanks to resumebear.com for sharing.... but be careful if you want to read the rest of their post - lots of colorful language."
