I Need Some Privacy

Until reading Killer's post about EEK going private, I didn't know you could lock your blog from uninvited readers. I think this is a sign from God.
Today at work we had a "technology specialist" (read DORK) come and address our group about ways we can increase communications throughout our organization. Specifically and often he mentioned blogging. Several times he asked who was familiar with blogs and then encouraged all of us to start surfing blogger to familiarize ourselves with the format.

I said too much. I said I was familiar with how to create and manage a blog. Much like Oscar's homosexuality was outed during that very uncomfortable and very funny episode of The Office, now... they all know. I am terrified.

I don't write much about work on this blog out of fear that I will be outed. Nonetheless, there are MANY things posted on this blog that I do NOT want my coworkers to know or even suspect about me. The thought of my office mates reading about my trip to the gynecologist irks me. I am especially sensitive since I know at least one asshole who will use this blog to his total advantage and totally against me. Hell, he may have already stumbled upon us, with a hard-on from anticipation that I may have said one cross word about him... just once slipped up and mentioned his name or where I work. The jig is up, friends.

Killer and I have spoken before about switching to a new blog format. It will happen. One day we will leave blogger. My request is that when we go we only take invitees with us. I don't think Killer will go for that. He is a bit of a comment whore.

Another option I have considered is a name change. Instead of Killer Rants (with Liz) it could be Killer Rants With Busty or Killer Rants With Dixie. I am going to seriously have to look at ways to totally preserve my anonymity since surfing blogs has now been handed down as a "training assignment".

I love blogging with Killer but I have to ask- IS it time for me to break loose and begin blogging under a pen name, like Anita?

A little help here would be great. What are your ideas for keeping it on the down low?

Sincerely,

Scats O'Brien
