the internet changed everything

ahhh, remember the ferris bueller days when you put your thermometer under the light bulb and convinced your mom that you were too sick to make it to your algebra test. or when you called in a family emergency to your boss but went to the beach instead? well i'm always up for a little unscheduled vacation, just don't be a dumbass about it...like putting the evidence up on facebook...




"Wow, not only does it suck to get busted for skipping work, but when the evidence looks like these photos, it’s not just your business reputation on the line anymore. After excusing himself from work for a “family emergency,” Kevin Colvin, an intern at the North American arm of the Anglo Irish Bank, was busted when photos on Facebook revealed what he was really up to: partying at a Halloween bash, dressed as a fairy!

When his manager replied to the email message in which Colvin excused himself, his boss wrote back with an attached photo of the intern in costume. Gulp. If that isn’t embarrassing enough, his boss CCed the message to EVERY ONE at the office."



and kudos to his boss for being so savvy, looks like we all have to get a bit more crafty about those excuses...
