Blog-Work Intersection (work)

Yesterday my blog intersected with my job. I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. All anyone's got to do is a Google search for gabe and my site is among the top results. Of course, the intersection happened in a way I could never have predicted.

I'm working on a project that has to do with, guess what? Blogging. I was in a meeting with some coworkers and the need to see an existing blog arose. A couple of the folks in the room knew I have a blog and asked if we could look at mine. I agreed and we pulled it up. Not that I have anything to be embarrassed about or ashamed of, but it's a strange feeling to be sitting in a meeting with four coworkers who are staring at something very personal (no dirty jokes, please). I received some compliments on the sheer volume of content I have, which is cool, then we moved on.

I'm already very aware that anything I write here enters the public domain, and, as such, am very careful about what I write. I try not to use last names when referring to people and, of course, not write anything I'm not willing to defend down the road. The Web is anything but a private place and this just confirms it yet again.
