inevitable...

really, i should have seen it coming...but i feel deflated, a little embarrassed, and exactly how i thought it would feel like in the event this situation arose...

yep! so my boss overheard a conversation at a team dinner last week about my twitter account, and following some time on the weekend googling me to see what she could find, i was hauled in for a serious conversation this morning...

sure, she read some of it out of context, non tweeters will do that...

but honestly, i probably should have known better...should have closed it down before it got to this...

the inevitability though is this: when i accepted my dream job working for her, i knew that there would be a price to pay...the price of being myself? maybe that's a bit dramatic, although i have enjoyed the freedom with which i have been able to speak in this medium, until now...

i feel as though my two worlds have now collided and there is no going back...sooo website has been taken down (and i'm not unhappy about that), although interestingly i had the hindsight to make contact with web designer last week to disable the twitter feed from my website - that way making it WAY harder to find me...

but no, he didn't get back to me and in the absence of his guidance i hadn't remembered how to disable the website...so instead of me being on the front foot, i was well and truly, on the back foot...not a nice place to be...

that said, she handled it respectfully and with dignity and honestly, i can't argue with her - bottom line is it was probably naive of me to think it was ok...

so no more website, no more twitter, only the blog remains! FB of course still in tact, with appropriate privacy settings...

and yes, there have been times today where i have questioned if it is all worth it - and it is, but i was right: it's come at a cost....
