An interesting or maybe I should say concerning stat for 2009 is the percentage of divorces citing Facebook in the decree. I don’t think Facebook deserves the whopping 20% of the mentions or blame.  I personally believe that parties start grasping for ammunition and ways to hurt their spouse in divorce proceedings.  What I do believe is that Facebook makes a permanent public record of much of the behavior that happens in a generally more passive manner or within the hidden heart of man.  Do not get me wrong, I do think that the tool can lead to or make improper behavior easier, but the true issue is the heart of man.  Consider the casual conversation with coworkers or quick phone conversations; do they have any sense of flirting or sexual tension? My point is; often, much what happens on Facebook happens between men and women in professional, civic and social settings, but are fleeting moments that are not thoroughly placed under examination.  Consider this, would you be comfortable with your spouse hanging at a bar daily with singles, former significant others and prowlers looking for an opportunity to encroach on their life?
I would suggest that you use great caution with all networking tools, not stop using them. They can make you vulnerable to people that you might normally avoid or not see in your day-to-day life and they provide a perceived secret place to do some “harmless” flirting. Be wary and open with your spouse as to prevent any acts of betrayal of trust.

I wanted to draw your attention to one of the most amazing community development organization I have ever been had the privilege to be involved with, 
I completely lost my cool yesterday with someone on my project team. We were in our daily stand up meeting where I get updated on what each team member completed the day before and we plan the day. Well, we are under a lot of pressure at this time, because we have major milestone on the June 1 and we could easily burn up another 4 weeks with all the loose ends. What set me off was one member of the team stating that he wasn’t sure that he would complete his assignment. I was perturbed when I responded with it will get completed; it must be completed. He quipped back with, “I just started it.†And I guess that was enough to push me over the edge. I snapped back with the fact that the assignment was given 4 weeks prior. This simple chain of events was enough to release the rage that I have worked really hard to keep in check. I proceeded to lay out the expectations and my concerns for the lack of work that was completed the prior day. After a short rant I gained control and called the meeting, so I could take a walk around the block to cool off and get my head on straight.
