this makes me feel old to write it (I'm only 30 believe it or not), but, I'm really struggling to understand the trend among "the kids these days" to write these too-much-information confessional blogposts. this blogpost is nothing but unchecked liability. it makes it harder for the author to maintain a professional relationship with his former employers, and harder for the author to find a new job. in my mind a blog is for the edification of others. you write something on a blog so the readers of your blog can learn something, or at least be entertained. this is not educational or entertaining. its egotistical, even though its self-deprecating, its still 100% about the author and nothing else. this is just a "dear diary" kind of post, but its written in an all-too-public place. I understand the need to vent and reflect on life experiences. I do it all the time. PRIVATELY. what possible reason can a person have for making their private life public? is this just the corrosive impact of Facebook on the culture of the younger generation? not everything should be on the internet. your personal life can be personal and private. should be personal and private.
