Thank you for linking to Brazen Careerist. You bring up an interesting point about how you should only blog under your name if you are writing stuff you'd want your employer to see. You're probably right that I should have talked more about that. But during the time when I was wrestling with two identities I began to feel more and more strongly that when we have two, distinct lives that do not mesh, it is not good for us. If you are blogging in a way that an employer would not respect, you have to ask yourself what's wrong wtih the picture - -how can you be more you in both halves of your life. It's extremely tiring to have to separate one part of your life from another. Not entirely fulfilling, and worthy of reexamination. Penelope Hi, Meredith. Thank you for linking to Brazen Careerist.

If you are blogging in a way that an employer would not respect, you have to ask yourself what’s wrong wtih the picture – -how can you be more you in both halves of your life.

It’s extremely tiring to have to separate one part of your life from another. Not entirely fulfilling, and worthy of reexamination.

I'd planned on reading it on the plane ride to Denmark, but then I realized that there was no way I could go two months and avoid finding out the ending. Well, don’t worry, it won’t be me! ;)
