Facebooking might get you fired

Hi there.

I saw this article and thought it was pretty hectic. Getting fired for being on Facebook while being off sick… That’s crazy! I sometimes lay around at home and then update my status on Twitter (I don't do this ALL the time, but there are times)… Twitter will then automatically update my Facebook status (some add-in I set up in Facebook). I then just thought, imagine this would happen to me. Imagine I am sick a day… then update my status “I am feeling SO sick”… this will then go to my Facebook account, which would seem like I am active on Facebook. This can’t be good.

Apparently the employee was sick at home. She then did some things on Facebook, which her employer got to hear about. This destroyed the employer’s faith in her faithfulness, so now she is without a job.

This is just strange, but I’m sure they must have checked that she was very busy on Facebook and didn't just update her status, but still, I’m sure one can be at home, feel sick and check your Facebook account. This doesn't take a lot a brain power, whereas to work takes a lot more effort. Anyways… I think my status changing is safe – but to all of us – BE WARNED – I’m sure this was just one of many.

Space Smells Funny

According to Astronauts, space smells funny. Ha! I thought it was something worth mentioning on my blog – since I have always been interested in space.

My wife knows that I would like to walk on the moon one day (any sponsors?). But until that day I will have to just read up and believe what the people who actually DO go into space have to say about it.

Apparently as they come back from space – as they move from the outer to the inner hatch, the smell of space enters OR stuck to their space suites. In this manner they know what space smalls like.

They say it smells different to anything else. Some say it smells like ozone or gunpowder. They say its not easy to explain but it has a faint acrid smell. It could be similar to burnt gunpowder or the ozone smell of electrical equipment.

Well – hopefully one day I will be able to confirm this, but till then I will just dream big.
