In response to a comment from Thursday's post:
I have taken measures to minimize the amount that I disclose about the persons or entities that I'm talking about (I don't even use my boyfriend's name for Pete's sake), however this is a mostly recent change on my part. I will therefore be removing most of the older content from this site -- which is something I was planning on doing at some point anyway. Very few people read the older stuff, and I have it all backed up for my own means. Eliminating that would eliminate most of the identifiers to track anyone/anyplace/anything down.
As for my diatribe. Certainly everyone has moments where they need to vent about their employers. Part of my reason for doing it in this sort of forum is that I'm sick of hearing myself complain. Which I do on a regular basis to all family and friends. So in the essence of not whining on the phone to 5 people a day, here I can write it once and they can read it at their leisure. And although not specified that carefully, I actually like my "employers" very much indeed. I have no issues with either of the bosses I currently work with. It happens to be issues completely unrelated to them and in a more generic sense that have incited the complaints. I'm more frustrated with a general situation that has mulitple different things contributing to its continued presence. So my diatribe wasn't intended to single anyone out for anything in particular, but mostly a general annoyance.
There is more that I could say on this topic (sad overuse of Googling people when bored), but I won't. But your comment is noted, and will be taken into consideration when I'm deciding to eliminate certain salient features of this blog.
And others should also be aware: there's no such thing as "Anonymous" on the internet.
