One of the Problems of Locally Over Exposing a Blog
One of the main problems I've just run into with writing to a web log is that too many people I know and work with are aware of and read Intellectual Poison. Its not a random board in cyber space that has no connection to my real life. I can't complain about my house because my fiance reads me (and there's nothing to complain about, its just an example because I can't write about what's really bothering me these days).

What I need to do is just not tell people about the blog anymore. I don't need local folks to be reading me (and no, that doesn't mean you, Paul, you're in the pal category and I like knowing you read up). And no, this isn't any sort of an assault on people outside of my work reading me. Its about people within my office knowing I write here and knowing that any bitching I do about work here could trickle down to my boss and then the whole stupid can of worms is over turned and the floor looks like a Dali print.

So, I'm going to start making a few changes to the blog. I'll no longer be posting as myself but now I'll be under a pseudonym. One that I came up with a few years ago as a joke for a short story I was writing at the time. My thinking is that, given a few weeks I can actually return to some greater level of anonymity. I won't be speaking about the blog with anyone I work with that I don't also spend time with outside of work, i.e. unless their a pal then I'm not talking to them about it.

And I'll have to find another outlet for my current irritation. Though perhaps I'll write it up as a short story and post it here. That way I can just call it fiction and be done with it if I'm caught out or anything.

But yeah, I've got a big old hill of shit to deal with in the next couple of weeks. Starting with moving our office to the new building over the weekend (well, I'm not doing the actual moving but I do have to box all my crap up for the mongoloid movers to drop and break in the three hundred yards of the move).

How have the rest of you demarcated the line between blog and reality? I need some help here. That and I may need a new job soon so anyone who's got a spot open for an experienced PR Manager, drop me a note. And no, Layne, I'm not relocating to Mini-Soda. My tender bits would freeze and fall off and I'm just not quite ready for that sacrifice yet.
