In my main blog, the Ontario Empoblog, I've covered stories about people getting fired because of their blogs, including the Alanis Morrissette-like firing of Troutgirl, who worked for a social networking company.

Well, here's another one:


The 33-year-old British expat in Paris writes under the pseudonym "La Petite Anglaise" and tells of love affairs, single motherhood and office bloopers with self-deprecating, "Bridget Jones"-style humor. ..

She kept her popular blog anonymous, never revealing her full name or workplace. But despite her attempts at secrecy, her employer found out and fired her unusual in labor-protected France, where workers have strong legal protections.

Now she's suing her employer in a case generating buzz on both sides of the English Channel....

The expat in Paris goes only by Catherine and declined to reveal her last name because of the personal tales she recounts on the site.

I know I could get fired if my boss figures out how much time I spend on here.
