That moment I have secretly dreaded but denied would ever happen:

Discovery of my blog by people with whom I work.

Someone gave me a heads up, but when I delved into the history, it became quite clear someone from the work ISP had been scouring my archives.

Dammit.

Even though it has been taken down for the time being, I am paranoid beyond belief. Who has seen it? What have they seen? Are they being slightly less nice to be today? Will they ever speak to me again?

All that ground which had been slowly gained, those little victories I was savoring in the headway of getting things accomplished and the latest discovery that my manager CAN BE NICE TO ME--would those all be in vain, now that my blog had been found?

Tempted, I am, to throw back my head and proudly embrace the bitchy persona. But it's rather hard to do that when they are on the verge of telling you:

You're fired.
