Corporate life for the conservative

I have come to some realizations that taste very bad. This blog is now private and will be adding people I trust 100% as I think of them. Google, love it or hate it, it has changed everything. Not only can someone find the perfect gag item whether it be fart spray or a toilet monster, but employers or potential employers can use it find out about people. That is if your "arrogant" enough to think you can write about conservative views openly on the internet without apology and still have some semblance of professional success.

Lets face it, conservative and openly Christian views can either mark you as someone that wont fit in or something positive depending on the persons perspective. Unfortunately, it seems the Christian/Conservative world view is most definitely in the minority, especially in the high tech sector. This is something I new subconsciously but had no idea the potential effects it could have on certain types of peoples perception of me.

So I am officially going to start to review my internet footprint and start taking my uncles advice which is never to mix politics or religions with work unless its a 1 on 1 situation and you know who is listening. I need to learn to keep my mouth shut, but its hard, especially when a group of liberals are have a pow wow right in the same room Every apologetic fiber in my body screams.....retaliation, retaliation....must defend Christian world view.

Oh well, live and learn I guess...
