You wrote about what?

I need your advice (or wisdom, whatever).

While nothing would please me more than to add my full and legal name to your rolls, I am begging counsel on the issue of exposure. I also need you to tell me if this matters, and if I’m being a paranoid freak of amazonian proportions.

Stuff said on the PC Interwebs last forever. I work in healthcare philanthropy; I am not the CEO (but I work directly for him), nor am I the person in the paper every week (but my board members are). I would never post anything about my place of employment or about those with whom I work, but people can be supercilious cunts (see?? Forever!!), and you never know who’s reading what. Also, I have cats to feed and a bum husband who needs health insurance.

What are your thoughts on Interwebs exposure, in general (and no, Andrew, I’m not talking about your multiple undescended testicles)? Have you had any negative experiences? And not just on Clusterflock, but on any sites you frequent or participate in. Thanks for your collective wisdom.

p.s. I just thought this was a cute picture of a kitten. It means nothing.

Shameless Plug

I would like to take a moment of your time to announce something that I hope, over time, will become something rather successful.

Blog header graphic

As many of you know I have a personal blog in addition to writing for this here Clusterflock thing.  However, I’ve recently started another blog, called Unfiltered, that serves as my employer’s blog.  I want it to be everything most company blogs aren’t: interesting, authentic, transparent, fresh, relevant, not boring.  My goal is to make it worth reading on a daily basis, even if you aren’t wholly interested in the consulting business, PeopleSoft or SaaS technology.

So, if you’re inclined, stop on by.  Tell others about it if you feel the prospective subject matter would be interesting.  Grok the RSS if that’s your thing.  The kickoff post pretty much lays out what the blog will and will not be.

Thanks.  We now return to the regularly-scheduled ideological chaos.

111 Nations Approve clusterflock Treaty

Dublin, Ireland — A controversial agreement limiting the deployment of clusterflock was reached Friday.

The talks were boycotted by the governments of Russia, China, Israel, India, Pakistan and the United States.

“We can’t take a chance that an innocent person could stumble upon an unopened post or link,” said Norwegian representative Hans Lars-Erik Olof.

An unnamed clusterflock bomblet producer did not reply to emails pertaining to the treaty.

New Survey Says Polls are Meaningless Waste of Time

New York, NY — Most opinion polls are useless pieces of crap—that’s the conclusion drawn from a new survey released on Thursday. The margin of error for this damning assessment is plus or minus seventy-five percentage points.

Survey respondents were asked to answer wide-ranging questions about the U.S. economy, the 2008 presidential election, and general world affairs. These issues were carefully mixed with queries related to opinion polls themselves. The results paint a disturbing picture of what we think we know about what we think we know.
