shiit shiit shiit
Last night I put something on my FB status about my patient calling me fat (the legally blind man that called me "heavyset"), and my boss called me at 11:45 this morning and all she said was "take that off facebook. NOW." I said yes ma'am and she hung up.
fvck.
I did and now I'm shaking. Like holy crap. I've never had her this mad at me. I called my friend at work (who's known our boss forever) and flipped out to her. She said everything was fine, it was just the whole day that bothering our boss, not just that.
Now I can't go back to sleep. And I need to work tonight. fvck.

This is a good idea. I don't understand why she would get mad for you saying something about a patient calling you fat though. I'm assuming you didn't post the person's name on there, so why would it matter?
God no, I didn't use the name. I thought it was pretty benign because the only identifying factors was that he is blind and he is a he. But I guess since I put "my patient."
I'm one of those people who thinks about this stuff for forever after it happens. My boss may forget about it, but I feel like they still remember it. I'm texting my friend at work, and she's like, "it's okay, honest."
Can you tell I'm paranoid and insecure?? I don't know if I should even call and apologize anymore. I was going to do that, but she wasn't in her office.

I never really post anything about work on FB, certainly not about patients. But I thought that was really not too bad.
I guess I really should unfriend her. I've known her for a long time (like 10 years) and my mom has known her longer. Usually I wouldn't have my boss on my FB, but I've known her outside of work for a long time.
I am still kicking myself and I really need to go back to sleep.

Except when you're supposed to participate in social media as part of your professional presence.
I have a semi-professional Twitter account, and I'm encouraged to tweet about work-related things. It's hard to know what I can say (because I do want to keep it interesting) and what I can't. When in doubt, I usually refrain, but I hate the constant "is this okay?" dilemma.
Getting rid of Facebook certainly simplified that part of my life, at least. I wanted it to be a personal-life tool, but colleagues kept friending me and I couldn't really say no. If I ever reactivate my profile, it's going to be locked down so tight that only friends can even see that I have it!
I think I need to do that. I love FB so that I can talk to my family I wouldn't otherwise see, but the constant worry of "is this okay" or how it might affect me is getting old. I want to be able to see pictures and still post statuses if I want, but I don't want to accidentally (and unintentionally like last night) post something like that and get in trouble.

I'd be one of those people who was still worrying about it, too.
This is exactly why I am not FB friends with any current coworkers, even though I know they haev FB pages and vice versa. I don't mix current work with personal stuff...DH is doing the same - he's no longer accepting friend requests from any coworkers (he's at a director level so it gets even weirder when you have people reporting to you).
Me to! If your friend says everything is ok though just try to let it go. I know its easier said than done!
