Hypocrisy
August 15, 2008
I am such a hypocrite. I surf my favorite blogs on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis. Wondering, “Why doesn’t she update more often?” But I haven’t been here to post an entry in weeks. I’ve been trying not to goof off at work so much, but am still stretching about 12 hours worth of real billable work into a week of being here. It’s not hard when you get interrupted for trips to a job site 30 minutes away, or need to solve someones computer malfunction issues. It’s odd – I really know nothing much about computers, but they still come to me. They come to me with questions about billing, about roofing, about whether we should have a birthday cake for the August birthdays. (Well, of course, I’m one of them!).
I would like to eventually have some regular readers, but I’m not a regular enough writer to expect that yet. I’m also going through some “internet identity” issues right now. I’ve almost always used a psydonym when making public posts or registering for forums. It’s simply that I don’t want the whole world to know some of the medical details or questions I post on forums, or read some of the more personal things I write. I wouldn’t really want my business partners to be reading a blog about how I’m goofing off at work, written while goofing off at work. So I’ve always been “Sheryl” on line.
Now I am becoming involved with the TMA in a volunteer capacity, and needed or wanted to let the people I am working with know that I’ve been very active on the forum as Sheryl. I haven’t mentioned this blog to anyone that I work with or know here in town. I have not even mentioned it to my original circle of “electronic friends” that are now real world friends across the country. Why not? Not sure. One concern is that I might start to drop out of the small circle of e-mail correspondence if I assume they are reading here instead.
I guess I’ll start to work on integrating all of these multiple fractured personalities into one full person.
