About a year ago, I started a work blog. Initially it was password protected, because I wanted to be quite free when deciding what to write. I guess that I became frustrated by the thought that no-one would ever read this blog, so, a few weeks ago, I unprotected it. My intention was to be careful what I wrote in what was potentially a public place. But inevitably, I found myself recording aspects of the unhappiness I felt. To-day, my manager told me that he'd been reading my blog. "Which one?" I asked, blithely. Once we'd worked out which blog he'd been reading, I must admit to having mixed feelings. We've agreed that it should go back to being password protected. And there shouldn't have been anything there that my manager shouldn't have seen. Perhaps it's good that he's seen an expression of feelings I normally hide. But I feel uncomfortable nevertheless. I need to be more aware that if something has been published, I can't control who sees it.
