Be careful what you say about people you don’t think are watching.

I did a random web-search on my company name. As the chief web guy at work, I have taken that on as my unofficial responsibility. I like to see where else our brand is being mentioned on the web. Usually it is just fine.

Most of the time I find it on a church website with links to other local minstries. That’s cool. We like that.

Last night, however, I found it mentioned a few times on someone’s blog. There was nothing too bad really. But as I read on, I realized this was one of my co-workers. I have only met this guy once. He tends to work late nights on the weekend. But there were comments about how boring the overnight is, how the music is putting him to sleep, how the morning guy plays his music too loud, and things like that.

What makes it funny is that he is probably blogging with the same intentions I am. Just as a place for family and friends to catch up on what is going on in his life. I am sure he didn’t plan on having a coworker “stumble” on the site.

I think it will be a while before I say anything. I think I will have a little fun with it.

But that is why, from here on out, you will always here me refer to my place of employment as “the company”.
