Earlier this week, my school posted on our internal electronic bulletin board a little warning re: blogging and employment.

I told myself that it didn't concern me, that I feel I've been quite careful in my blogging - I have not blogged about things that could get me in trouble - I've not spoken of classmates, I've not spoken of details about the inner world of my school. I do not feel that I've ever shared anything on this blog that would hurt my standing with the firm I'll be working with this summer.

Yet, even though I *said* I wasn't concerned, and I spoke with Beloved about it, and he said he didn't think I needed to be concerned, I haven't posted much lately. I'm feeling a wee bit more reserved, and a little like I'm looking over my shoulder in the blogging context.

I will keep thinking this through .... any input on the issue is welcome. Should I be concerned? Especially as someone who will be on the job market within the next year?

Ack. I am totally self serving in this, but I don't think you should quit blogging because you are one of my favorite bloggers! But being altruistic, I would say that you have one consideration only. No one would ever refuse to hire you because of the content on your blog. Like David said, if that were so, you don't belong there and they suck anyhow. The only thing is if they have a policy to where they don't *ever* hire people to keep blogs. I don't really know what to say about that because that situation scares me too. But I would miss blogging, and I would certainly miss your blogging.
