Thinking of Calling in Sick?

Playing hooky used to be easy.  Call in, stay home and if anyone from work called make sure to sound weak and congested.  Those days are gone; with Facebook, Twitter and MySpace its practically impossible to hide from anyone.  

I just read this article  about a woman who lost her job because a co-worker found her updating her Facebook page while claiming to be ill.  It seems a bit harsh to me since it really does not take much for anyone to surf the net.  

We know the economy is tight, but really, using Facebook as a reason for dismissal sounds a bit trivial to me.
