So the other day I sent an email to my boss. When she responded, I scrolled down through the email thread to refresh my memory on a few points, when I saw a link to my other blog randomly sitting amidst the back and forth replies. My mind screamed out WTF?! and I had a mini panic attack.

How did that get on there?? Oh my gosh, please tell me she didn't notice it. Tell me she didn't notice it! She didn't notice it. She would have mentioned something, right? She totally didn't notice it.

I convinced myself that she didn't notice the link, and then I promptly forgot about all about it.

You have an inkling where this is headed, don't you?

So I was at a work thing, chatting with her about this and that.

Boss Lady: So, I read your blog.

Blink. Blink blink.

Cue nervous laughter.

Me: You did?

Boss Lady: Yeah, I thought you were trying to show me something. I thought you were linking to something having to do with your presentation.

And cue guilty rambling.

Me: Oh my gosh no I don't know how that got there it wasn't in the sent message but then I saw it in your response and I was like "how did that get there" and I have no idea how that got there but I totally didn't mean to send that link to you.

Boss Lady: Well, I read through some of it...

Me: Shoot me now.

Boss Lady: What?

Me: What? Oh, nothing.

Boss Lady: Anyway, I'm totally with you.

Me: You are?

Bossy Lady: Right there with you.

Me: Really? Cuz I feel like you're totally gonna fire me. Since that blog is about having a fickle faith. And I work at your Catholic school. And I'm your Religious Activities Coordinator. I would totally fire me.

Except I didn't actually say that last part because I'm not trying to give her any ideas. Also, I don't think I deserve to be fired. Secretly and unfairly judged perhaps, but not fired.

Lesson of the day: anything you write on the internet can and will be read by the very person you hope doesn't read it. I wonder how/if that will affect what I write going forward.
