I need to vent...

So, the other day I posted a status on FB that went something like this, "I don't know why I am expected to do my job 110% when other people are way overpaid and do theirs half way." Now, I didn't think anything of it. I was just venting my frustration towards my mechanic and car dealership. They have had my car for 2 weeks now to be fixed when it should only take at the most 1 week. I didn't want to name names so I was vague in my status. I was talking with a co-worker this morning when another walked by and said, "This is 110%?" I was confused at first but then realized what she was referring to. I think she was kidding but at the same time a little serious. I am pretty sensitive when I think someone thinks I am not doing a good job. It makes me feel like a loser so I had that replaying in my mind all morning.

About 30 minutes rolled by and another co-worker came up to me and said she saw what I had posted on FB and thought it might be a good idea to remove it or clarify what I was talking about because she was afraid that people at work would get the wrong idea and tell others and she didn't want me to get in trouble. She said she figured I was talking about something else but others might not know that. I was kind of taken back. That had never occurred to me because in my head I was only talking about my car woes! I am thankful that she told me because I was oblivious as to how it may look to others. Anyone who knows me knows that no matter what is going on at work, I would NEVER post about it on FB or any other social media. That's what calling a friend or family member is for.

I decided it would be a good idea to clarify what exactly I was referring to and then I couldn't stop thinking about how many people I work with had seen it. I couldn't get it off my mind so I decided to remove it. I am still worried that those I work with that saw it may not have seen the clarification but I guess if it bothers them that much they can just ask me about it.

I have always told myself that I am not going to be one of those people that posts everything they are doing/thinking on FB and I never have been but once in a while I will out something like this up. Why do I feel the need to do this? It's pathetic really. On the other hand, it's pathetic that people would look at my status and immediately jump to their own conclusion without asking me first. I know I am responsible for what I write here and on FB but unless I name names and put specific things in there why is it so bad? I mean would it really be any different than if I were to say it out loud and someone walking by hears me? I can't control where their mind goes and what their ears hear. If they are confused or want clarification they can ask me. I guess I will just have to start talking things out in my head. I think it just boils down to the fact that we are way too open with our private lives. I try not to be by being vague and look where it gets me! I guess I will just have to stop it all together!
