Working undercover for the man

December 29, 2004 on 12:20 am | In Uncategorized

Sometimes, coworkers find your blog. Or, in this case, MY blog.

That’s something you must prepare for ahead of time. For example, I need to blog with the advanced knowledge that posting something like “My supervisor Joe has a dirty history with livestock” isn’t appropriate, even if Joe doesn’t yet read my blog.

Today, Joe did in fact find my blog, and he mentioned that it was — his words — “awesome.”

So now, as I punch this post into my BlackBerry while sitting in a Manhattan Starbucks, I have to wonder: What exactly does Joe find awesome about this site?

The pithy humor?
The stories about my dog?
The stunning color scheme?

And now, I also have to worry if he’ll be back to the site, and if he’ll stumble across old posts about unpleasant surgeries or my ventures into the world of adult filmmaking, or my addiction to acetone and horse tranquilizers.

(Postscript: I love that my BlackBerry knows the word “tranquilizers.”)
