Life's Little Lessons
OH MY GOD!! The girls in the office were doing Google searches on all of our names and one of them found my little site here. I was working diligently when I heard her say "If you want to get ahead, get a Michael," and I totally freaked. I mean, fucking totally freaked. It's not even that she found this site, it's that there are comments on these pages about the people I work with and the company overall. I was waiting for this to happen. I mean, I can't keep this private and keep it on the Internet at the same time, and I'm not taking it down. As much as it's cheesy from time to time, I like it here. So, what now? Do I censor myself when it comes to matters of work? I think that would be prudent. Oh my God, I freaked. My face went all red, and my heart started pounding. I felt like a rabbit in a cage with half a dozen people looking in on me. How long did I really expect to remain anonymous when my name is on this thing? And why should I be afraid of being who I am? I don't know if that's the issue here. OK, lesson learned.
