Today during my departmental staff meeting with my boss and her direct reports, our librarian talked about an upcoming conference she'll be attending on libraries and computing; she noted that there was going to be a session on "blogging," and that she hadn't known previously what that was. So I ended up defining and describing blogging, and at the same time acknowledging my own experience as a blogger. So it will be interesting to see if any of my colleagues end up searching for, finding and reading elf-reflection, something I first mused about last May and after which I've realized that--although I thought I would not--I have occasionally censored myself when writing about my job and my co-workers, just as I've probably left some relationship musings unblogged now that I'm partnered with a fellow blogger. The latter, especially, I find intriguing to ponder. There's nothing in that category I haven't shared directly with Jeff, but some of the details of my--now our--private life now feel less solely mine to divulge, and certainly less anonymous, since the man in my life has an online face, name and identity of his own.
