I've been busy with real life lately and haven't written much or read much on the blogs. Much to my surprise, I went to Fat Doctor's blog today to find out that she is closed down. Seems a co-worker buster her out to the boss. The boss was fine about it, but it really bites. I guess for FD it was much like having your diary read over the loudspeaker.
So many people are amazed that we blog. What do you say? What if your boss finds out? What if a patient recognizes themselves? First of all, you would have to be more paranoid than I am to recognize yourself. Seriously, of all the people in the blogging world do you think you are special enough to make the interesting stuff you read on here? Come on.... and then you have to realize that so much is embellished to make it interesting, well, Jerry Springer has some openings.
My boss..... she wouldn't be happy, but methinks she would get over it. I think too that she recognizes creative writing. However, I don't want to push it. I do love my job.
I'm sorry FD, I really am. You have shared so much with us, we've walked down many things with you. I'm still touched by the death of one of the bloggers, I never knew her, but yet, I did. Somewhat better than some folks I see on a regular basis. Why is that? Because she opened up her thoughts for us to see, something we don't trust those close to us to do.
Alas, real life calls. I have much to do before going to throw myself before the patients and families tomorrow. See if I have any sanity left.

wwwaaaaaahhhhhh! I am sad too.
I'm sad too. I also think, though, that the best way to deal with this is simply not to put anything on your blog that you wouldn't be willing to have read by people you know. And I've told my volunteer supervisors about my blog -- so I think I'm covered.
The Internet isn't private! We blog BECAUSE we want people to read what we have to say, right?
