So Here's the Story

I found out that someone at work googled me, and didn't like even the veiled reference to the parent suicide that I wrote about last week. This person thought that if the information was public it would be problematic. I'll leave out the detail that the kid told every kid in school every detail. But, regardless, instead of coming to me, the person went to the tech person in my building, who then brought it to my attention. She didn't tell me to take down the blog, or even stop writing, just letting me know the concern. And, also, that she routinely googles all staff to see what comes up, based on an incident they had regarding what a student wrote on her blog a few years ago.

I love this site. You all know that. But, I'm not going to invite trouble at work because of it. So, it's hidden until I decide what I want to do going forward. I got through an entire campaign for public office without one episode about my blog, but three weeks into the new job, someone's upset enough to complain.

It really makes me sad. Thanks for everyone who's accepted my invite. I'll try to keep posting as much as I have in the past. I'm just a little pissed right now.

Going Underground

This decision is not easy for me. I have always enjoyed the openness of this blog, and blogging as myself. However, as of tomorrow morning, this blog will be protected. Invited readers only. The first protected post will explain why.
