Okay so a lot of people are wondering the story behind my decision to go private so I figured I'd just post it. It really wasn't anything that was a big deal. I probably over-reacted, but here is the story.
I had some suspicions last year that my supervisor was telling our boss some things that I told her in confidence. It made me pretty upset and we had a rough year because of it. Then, last week I got an email from my boss and the first thing it said was "I hear your expecting again..." I hadn't planned to tell her until school starts next week.
So, long story short, there is only one girl at work that knew I was pregnant so I knew it had to be her that told. It turns out, she was reading my blog and my facebook and then telling everything I posted, interpreted in her own way, to my boss.
I wasn't assigned a school this year because this girl had told her that I was starting a preschool and wasn't coming back and my boss thought I was going to quit at the last minute. She also called my boss and told her I was pregnant before I had a chance to tell her.
I know they are stupid little things, but part of the reason I like my job is because it gives me a chance to get out of the house and not worry about family life for a few hours and then I can go home and leave work at work. I don't need my personal life making drama at work.
I decided the easiest way to keep home and work separate is to keep work people out of my private life and thus my blog. I love having family and friends read so I hope I didn't offend anyone by deciding to go private!

It's really amazing the lack of maturity of some people! Hopefully you won't have anymore drama!
ReplyDeleteOh man what a bummer! Good for you to go private...I know it stinks in some ways! But you really never know what's going on. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteI wish blogger would come up with a better way for others to know when private bloggers have a new post- That is really my only beef with privateers and the whole decision to switch over.
ReplyDeleteI am considering going private for the exact same reasons as you! Good luck with everything :)
Sorry, that sounds like a real bummer. Isn't it sad that some people can be sooooo immature?! I had a co-worker stealing my phone from my desk drawer, and reading my text messages. She told everyone at work that I was expecting before I'd even told my family! I totally understand what you're going through, and I would have done the same thing. Congrats on number 3, by the way. You have the cutest kids.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a little thing. It's called invasion of privacy. So Way to stand your ground.
ReplyDeleteBobbie, I'm so sorry, that must be very frustrating! I don't blame you for going private at all.
ReplyDeleteLAME! I'm so sorry, what a.... well I won't say. But still, she is not cool.
