Haters gonna hate.

Don't compare your life to other people's highlight reels. 

I'm a firm believer in putting it out there.  Honesty is amazing and powerful and it's necessary.
I'm honest on my Facebook.  Not like diary honest, but like, whatever I'm thinking/feeling, I'll post it.


ADD Interruption:
[I think that Dodge Journey Event commercial has 'Trees' by MGMT playing in the background... some sort of skewed weird version.]


Anyway, I'm off on leave and just because I'm not at work doesn't mean I'm going to not be on Facebook. [insert joke about being on FB more than work.]  I posted that I was 'shooting a wedding party' as my status last week.  Because I was.  There were groomsmen, from a wedding party, and I took pictures.
Fast forward to the next day, where I get a call from my job's HR Department!
Someone tattled my (honest) FB status to the freaking Human Resources Dept at my work.  
I think I know who it is, and they've since been removed, but REALLY?!
HR is all like, "So I just want to ask you a question before this goes any further..."
And I'm like, "WTF, mate?"
"Did you travel to take wedding photography yesterday?"
"Yeah, I did."   ...and I continued to explain that I was tagging along with my boyfriend for shiggles and taking photos for fun.


I'M NOT BEING PAID TO DO ANYTHING.  THIS ISN'T MY JOB WHILE I'M 'OFF'.  I COULD ONLY WISH TO BE A PAID PHOTOGRAPHER INSTEAD OF SITTING IN A CUBE FOR 9 HOURS A DAY LIKE A TYPING HAMSTER.
/end rant


If there was any question about me taking off and then working elsewhere while I'm off, maybe ask ME first?  I'm always told to 'Ask Questions'. Shoot me a message and pry for info like a normal person. Going straight to HR made you look like a real big asshole, Petty McTattletale.
