Zoiks!
Apparently a few of the lads from the ‘k-club have found my little corner of the interweb. Somebody mentioned it on Saturday night and as the drink flowed more and more of them asked me
‘Whats all this about you writing a blog then?’
So now they know and I’m not sure how I feel about it.
On the one hand I have a bunch of friends who are aware of my presence on the ‘net. Some of them are fellow bloggers \ writers themselves and some aren’t. My family also knows about my ‘not so secret life’ and my sister and brother in law keep vague tabs on me here.
So I’m used to meeting up with people and talking about online stuff, etc. But the ‘k-club lads (as I have coined our ex-company) are former workmates. Which kind of makes it a whole different ball-game - I’ve already blogged about how I prefer to keep my work and personal life separate.
Then again I’ve known them all going on for seven years or so. Every Christmas we do a ‘12 pubs of’ crawl – even the years when I wasn’t working there. People gave up a Saturday night to eat and drink with former workmates, the lads go golfing together, former employees still keep in touch. How many companies do you know where that happens? Christ, even C-Bear is a former employee - and oh the amount of confusion that friendship caused when we first became friends.
‘But the two of you are so different, how on earth can you be friends?’
I used to refer to us as ‘Uma and Janeane’.
Guess who I was.
Anyway, I’m waffling now. If any of the ‘k-club are reading this I guess this is the bit where I say:
‘Hello Boys.’
My blog has become much more public than I wanted, and co-workers are starting to find it. Time to throw the smoke bomb down and disappear, I guess. Poof! Bwah-hah-hah-haaahhhhh!

i never thought you were real anyway, i mean, even your real life name sounds made up.

Are you saying that “coworkers you hang out with sometimes” are actually different than “friends?” Who knew?
