This week, a few people close to me have expressed concerns about my blog, given my profession and the fact that I’m looking for employment. I’ve been through several stages of processing this information…and come to the conclusion that I need to take more care in what I’m posting for public consumption.

Often, I will say things flippantly, with a bit of sarcasm, meant for humorous effect, but I think I need to keep in mind that some people happening upon this space might not take things this way.

I don’t want to entirely change the way I write…this space has become very important to me. I enjoy writing about my life, and sometimes this is where I vent my little annoyances, irritations and frustrations. Maybe I just need to watch *how* I say things.

I try to maintain a little measure of anonymity…not posting names (other than my first name and the first names of some of my friends and family) or specific places of employment…but is it enough?

Does anyone out there have any thoughts on this? Do you worry about anonymity? Has anyone found your blog or journal that you wouldn’t want reading it?

Also, I’ve been thinking…maybe I should look into creating a personal website that would maximize potential when my name is googled. I don’t know at the moment what that would entail, but it’s a thought…

I don’t know.

Anyway, thank goodness it’s Friday. I’m off to PA for my friend’s baby shower and to spend a little time with my family. I also have Toasted Cheese submissions to read. Should make for a busy, busy weekend, so don’t expect to hear from me until next week! Happy Friday, everyone.
