this morning i was hanging out with my invisible friends (ok, it's an IRC chat) and somebody laughed that the city of vaughn, ontario had just posted an amusing tweet on its official account:
we had a laugh about it, we did.
someone
That's a highly professional city representative.
someone
I totally want that person representing my city.
someone else
hey, he can write
flask
yeah, because saying "fucknuts" in official communication is a sign of professionalism.
flask
newsflash: your twitterfeed is not your persoanl notepad.
flask
if you are a public official, you are representing your agency.
someone
nods
someone else
in this case, badly
person who lives near toronto
yeah, that was likely someone having the wrong profile up when they posted
person who lives near toronto

flask
government representative son;t need to appear hip and edgy. they need to appear competent and professional.
person who lives near toronto
yes, that's why people are so amused by it.
and then we went back to talking about knitting or whatever.
and then the twitterfeeds and news links started to be funnier.

and we were very amused at his line from the city's official website:
Now you can find even more ways to connect to the City of Vaughan!
well, apparently now one less.
