Blogging - for the record
I do not blog at my computer at work. I blog during the workday at a computer in our office’s “study room”: this is a room with three computers that you can use on your breaks to study for insurance exams, check your email, and do personal computer items. I have checked my yahoo account 1 time on my work computer because I was waiting on an important email. I only use Seibel/CRN and other work related boring computer applications to assist customers for their claims.
I love my job and if anyone from my job reads this blog I want this post in there. Someone I know in the blogging community lost her job because her bosses assumed she was blogging at work due to the time stamp on the posts. Just for the record, just beacuse it’s time stamped a certain day and time doesn’t mean that’s when you were actually typing it.
Some people read my blog that I know from “real life” and some people read this from other adoption/infertility blogs that I enjoy reading. I would hope that no one who reads my blog would print it out and accuse me of using the company time or saying mean things about people.
This is my blog, this is full of my personal opinions. If you say something mean to me about adoption, I’ll probably talk about you on my blog. If you invite me to your house (or vice versa) I will probably mention it. If I’ve talked to you about your opinion on adoption,I will probably add a synopsis of what we discussed. I won’t use your name. People won’t guess who you are. If someone asks me to tell them who someone is, I won’t do it. This is like my online diary, but it is also a way to update all the various friends and family scattered all over what is going on in our lives. Adoption is a big process, and I’m sorry, I have a hard time remember who I’ve told what to. So, I feel a blog is the best way to let people know what is going on. I can add photos (which I will probably password protect) of our future kids so family and friends far away can see what’s going on. I can add my personal opinions and let people know the basics of what is going on. Infertility is also a very lonely and sad process, so I want to be able to vent my frustrations and feelings with other people who understand how I feel.
What I don’t want - I don’t want this blog to be used for people to accuse me of things or have their feelings hurt. That is not my intent. If I happen to talk about you, it’s because you’re in my life. I don’t mean any harm. And I don’t blog at work!
