Last week after checking out my blog, a friend of mine suggested I be a little bit more open with my blogging and reveal more personal information about myself. I thought about it for a couple days and thought, why hadn't I started to blog with more of a personal touch? Initially, I believe it was because I didn't want to be reprimanded or even fired from my job for telling cyberspace how I really felt about my coworkers, how I felt what my boss said was stupid or how glad I was not to be at my previous job for one more minute! Being a former recruiter I know that a person's online lifestyle can certainly prevent or end employment - so that was a road I did not want to go down, I do have bills to pay and a cat to take care of. But aside from that, I wondered what else was holding me back from opening up?
Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a healthy appetite for reality TV. How selfish and hypocritical am I to salivate over the pitiful teen moms struggling to juggle a baby and get out of high school on 16 and Pregnant, eyeball the crumbling of marriages and financial states of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, New Jersey and Orange County and chuckle at the emotional breakdown of Meatloaf on The Celebrity Apprentice.
Because I do believe there is a tasteful and respectful way to convey my working experiences, have fun and share my point of view, not to mention create fictional character names along the way, I will take my friends advice. Thanks Karen*! :o)
