How not to take a day off from work

Guy emails boss saying: "Something came up at home and I had to go to New York for the next couple days." The guy then goes to a Halloween party and proceeds to post his picture (in costume) to his personal Facebook account. The guy's boss stumbles on the account, takes said photo, attaches it to an email back to the guy and then CC's it to the entire company... From ValleyWag:
Bank intern busted by Facebook
Who says Facebook is the province of the young? Increasingly, the 30something bosses of naive recent college grads are proving adept at turning the social network against its earliest adopters. Kevin Colvin, an intern at Anglo Irish Bank's North American arm, was busted when he told his manager, Paul Davis, that he'd miss work due to a "family emergency". Davis turned up the photo above, freshly posted to Facebook from the Halloween party Colvin apparently missed work to attend, and attached it to his reply, copying the rest of the office as he did it. The email thread is now spreading around the net. After the jump, the entire exchange, and the incriminating photo.
The emails and photo are at the ValleyWag website. Soooooo BUSTED! That is going to be one very awkward conversation. Posted by DaveH at November 12, 2007 9:54 PM
