On this blog

In response to Kathryn's question on 9 Days of Hermitude, I keep this blog entirely anonymous where possible, and I'm careful not to mention it to anyone at work, or around work. It's not that I'm expecting to say anything out of order, just a last-ditch attempt to keep my work and personal life separate, especially now I've so many colleagues on Facebook.

I started this blog as a way of venting about work and talking about the transition from one job to another and, although it's degenerated somewhat into vague ramblings about, y'know, stuff, I'm keen to avoid bringing it to my employers' attention, just in case they have a problem with their name being linked to an employee who's sometimes getting a bit ranty.

When I accidentally posted from my work email once, forgetting the automatic footer they add, the resultant post (complete with work's email disclaimer) popped up on my work Google Alerts within a few minutes, so it seems my worries are well-founded.

Freaky, eh? Anyway, hence the cloak & dagger approach. Oh, and on the BA front, it'd drive you insane with boredom. If I were to try to tempt you to the dark side it'd be with something a little more 'consultant-y' and grandiose like 'Ecommerce Specialist' or something :)

Ooh, Ecommerce Specialist, I like the sound of that. More importantly, 2 posts in one day! Very impressed - I am barely managing one a fortnight at the moment.
