It took 88 posts, but I finally said something that after a few minutes I re-thought and deleted. I guess I am some kind of E-conformist. Last night I sat here with Marisa and we posted this file I have that we think is funny. A few people saw it and the comments started coming right away, a few people that would definitely get it, and from what they said they did.
But this little composition isn't very secret anymore. I'd thought it was a little more secure, that maybe only some of my upperclassmen or grads new where to find it. But it turns out that this is no more a secret than anything else in the Drama School. So just like an ABC affiliate fearing retribution from the FCC, now I have to filter posts through the lens of explaining them to my boss, or to the parent of a student, or to the Dean of Student Affairs.
I was thinking about this couple in New Mexico that got fired from their jobs because of some pictures they posted on their personal website. Its not like I'd be posting like that, but still, like it or not there are now some kind of standards and practices involved. Always were I guess. My family has had the address from the beginning, and from the start I decided that nothing even close to verging on confidential from work would get published even with names changed. But that had still left me a lot of leeway. Guess last night's post just helped me find the edge of the road.
So, if you saw the post I am talking about I hope you enjoyed it. I have thought since I first saw the thing a couple of years ago that it was just flat out hysterical.
But nothing I want to have to explain away.
