This is a snapshot of my facebook page. More often than not, whenever a photograph is uploaded I am naked and/ or drunk because more often than not in real life I am naked and/ or drunk. Every status update I write is more often than not vulgar, because I don’t use a filter on the internet. But you know, when I am at my job, obviously I am not naked, drunk, and/ or vulgar. Because I know how to conduct myself in a professional setting.
Insert dilemma. A coworker of mine asked me to friend request her. And now I was torn on whether or not to do it, because if I do, she’s going to see another side of me that she probably did not know was present. And if I don’t, she might feel offended. I weighed the pros and cons, and even thought about hiding my wall and my photos from her. I asked a friend for advice, and he said don’t do it.
And then I went ahead and did it. I didn’t censor my profile at all. So much incriminating evidence. I don’t know what I should have done. Maybe make a second page just for professional contacts. Or is that what LinkedIn is for? I can only wish for the best and hope that me and this girl can transcend a business relationship and she can accept me for the naked, drunk, vulgar person I am outside of the office.
