Anyway, having to be careful about discussing my job really annoys me. Someone threatened to contact my employer and reveal info re my kink life. She no longer knows where I work because I have changed jobs. But she knows my profession and the part of the world I live in.
It's just so annoying having to edit myself. I have a niche within a niche job now. So if I were to be explicit, it would take a few key strokes to locate me. Yet it's hard to share on the education thread without accidentally exposing some aspect of my job.
That I have to even THINK of that is perhaps the worst part of it. And then I wonder whether it is best if I don't share that info on the web. I guess it is.
But when I am reminded of my lack of safety, I become resentful. And I know the person who caused this would delight in that. It makes me sad to never be able to leave all that behind. Well, I could if I did not return to the Planet. But I haven't been willing to do that.

It's bloody hard, innit.
I'm glad I've got my pen name but I can't mention back inuendo and somewhat cloaked reference what I do for a living on FB. My career will change in two years and those borders don't mix well. that my screen name is fairly linked to me over the past 12 years, I've done a stupid thing to name it on this site. But jesus, I'm not good at closets.
I was going to not be closeted on FB but a couple of my exes freaked on me (one works in new media) and told me to keep my stupid gob shut if I ever wanted to work anything but self self employed.
I hate cloaking even in the slightest way. I can't mention any of my work on my blog and the stuff I would love to say about my job on a daily basis, jesus wept.
I'll have to make a secondary pen name after I move and write the stories to self publish when I get home. Still frustrating that I can't promote it as who I am. it will have to surf on it's own. >
