Saving my ass

"The events depicted in this blog are based on actual events. However, the names and locations have been changed to protect their identity. I do not wish any ill-will on my company or coworkers by posting such events, but rather to have them documented for future reference." ref.

Recent media and judiciary events has lead me to believe that I was justified in my paranoia that my employer might actually discover my blog. As much as I disapprove of my employer, I do not want to be fired for expressing my opinion (though I'm pretty sure half of them don't even know what a blog is). It's hard enough finding a job these days, I don't want to lose a poor one before I find a better one to take its place. :)

"As the practice of blogging has spread, employees ...are coming to the realization that corporations, which spend millions of dollars protecting their brands, are under no particular obligation to tolerate threats, real or perceived, from the activities of people who become identified with those brands, even if it is on their personal Web sites." ref.

I'm not exactly employed by one of those mega-corp places, but you can never be too safe or too paranoid. ^_~
