First Post

I've been blogging for years. As my regular blog has gotten more popular (and less popular, these things wax and wane - where I used to get at least 10 - 15 comments per post, now I'm lucky if I get one), my anonymity has dwindled. Not that that's a horrible thing - I've met some fantastic people through blogging, but there is definitely a downside. I can't properly sound off. My husband and some of his coworkers read my blog. Other people that I know read my blog. My mom has found it in the past, although me blocking her IP seems to have discouraged her reading.
My job is a fairly public one; if any of my coworkers were to stumble onto my blog, if I were writing the things I really wanted to there, I could very easily lose my job, or at least a huge amount of credibility.

So, I've started this blog to just be able to vent. I'm not going to tell anyone I know about it (blogwise or real-life wise). If people read it, people read it. I won't apologize for the way I'm feeling when I write things. I won't think of "Oh, maybe I should put a positive spin on this!". None of it.
