Face Lift

Maybe some people feel like it's no different than redecorating their great room, but it drives me crazy.

Unless things get hectic, I read several different blogs during the week.  I don't know, maybe I have a boring life so I have to hijack into other people's lives.

I have only met one other "blogger" (actually I hate that word) and that was because of a shared childhood hometown.

I recognize the blogs, normally not necessarily by name, but by their layout. 

But suddenly, it all changes.  They do a facelift.  I know they just wanted to redecorate, but since their blog layout is how I recognize them, I get really confused.  I click on one of the blogs I read regularly and their online persona has been significantly altered and suddenly Kenny Roger's loses all of his adorable wrinkles and he just looks stretched out and weird.

I have to go back and figure out which person is which, because I have no basis of reference when they get a nose job. 

And then there are those few that just go "poof" in the night.  You click on your link to them and they have disappeared into thin air and it leaves you wondering what actually happened.

Several months ago, I regularly read a blog of an elementary school principal.  She was funny and interesting, but I worried about all she revealed on her posts.  Talking about incidents with parents, giving them funny names and I just wondered. 

Honestly, how long can you remain anonymous when you give alot of specifics what you do for a living, especially when you regularly post about it including funny incidents that happen on certain days? 

I could find alot of material for posts in my current job.   It's like The Office on steroids.  I know most people wouldn't believe some of the crazy, funny things that go on, but if somehow someone I work with stumbled upon that particular post, suddenly I would be "outed".

So I worry that my little, funny blog friend who was a principal was identified.   Did someone find out about her blog?  Did she lose her job?  I hope not, but then again I wondered about her judgement that she didn't realize no matter how funny her posts were, she was referring to real people that could happen upon her post and then she goes, "poof".   Gone.

I'll keep my wrinkledy- black layout for awhile longer, no plans on a face lift either literally or virtually.  But the black show less wrinkles than my face does now.
