I've been thinking about this a lot over the weekend - my blog isn't very professional. Even though I admittedly lie and say half my words can/could/should be taken lightly, I still do wonder if this could hinder my chances at getting a job someday.
Then I remember something more important...painters paint, singers sing, dancers dance and writers write. We shouldn't be limited to serious, professional and admittedly, sometimes stogy pieces only because we are feared to be taken 'unprofessionally'. I personally admire the person who comes out and says "I did this and I refuse to be ashamed because it was not illegal nor did it hurt anyone"...that to me is better than being full of b.s.
I write satire to put a smile on people's faces. I may be serious at times - but that does not mean you should read this blog and believe everything I say...I'm biased...
If a job doesn't like that I write, I apologize but I don't believe we'd be the right fit. I refuse to blog about work. Why? Because it's unprofessional! I am happy signing a 'no blogging about work' contract - but I need to vent and I really like to be read.
Sincerely,
Jobless blogger.
