I’ll repost this on the coffee break too but if anyone is having a rough day and wants to crack up, I suggest this 30 second humorously edited Taylor Swift video. Warning, I watched it (originally on the Chive which is NSFW) at home after a couple drinks and could not stop laughing. Tears were rolling down my face and I was gasping for air. That could be the mood I was in, plus the drinks, plus the video. This link is from youtube and the video is safe for work, minus the laughing you will do.

Thank you for bringing this into my life.
I want everyone in world to watch this video.
laughing.so.hard.
If you search on youtube for goat versions of songs, you will find a plethora of amazing renditions, (including a few versions of the Taylor Swift song) including Bon Jovi, Usher, Miley Cyrus, etc. SO and I were cracking up watching all of these one night.
I agree Kat on the Dot.complicated seven “digital crimes” article…I can see how some of those things are annoying (changing your Facebook pic all the time), but seriously, that’s a crime?? Plus, I am NOT friends/follow on twitter/follow on instagram any business associates. But maybe I’m like you and don’t mix social media and business very much at all.
Agreed, tacky/annoying but not a crime. Still, it’s probably better to avoid sharing too much personal information with professional contacts. I’m in charge of my company’s social media presence so I created a separate Facebook account with my work email. I use my personal LinkedIn account but considering I only use that for networking I don’t post anything too personal anyway.
