Oh, crud. Maybe you should have gone over those with me in the interview... Silliness aside, I, as you know, appreciate the friendship and openness we've cultivated between us over the last several years. I think it's had a large hand in creating the fantastic atmosphere and team we enjoy today. “Obviously, there are certain lines of discretion and appropriateness never to cross.”

I have wondered about the correct balance for years now. I've worked at a place where no personal information was shared, which was really sterile, but I've also worked at a place where they all informed me of their religious opinions, medical problems, and marriage status on the first day, which was too much. We seem to have a good balance going on at our office. It's the most comfortable I've felt with co-workers. Not too impersonal but not too personal that it's uncomfortable. That is, I'm not uncomfortable at work, but you're the one who's employed a blog stalker, so you might be the uncomfortable one. Interesting subject.

I was a marketing major in school and many things I was taught went completely opposite to how I felt. Everything was so programmed and fake. It is refreshing to see you and others taking an honest and role. Authenticity will always draw me in. “In fact, most of what is there may not be terribly interesting, but the willingness to be open is”

Amen.
