What Happens When Someone Steals Your Blog?

For that matter, what happens when your spouse discovers what a blog is, starts writing one of her own and includes pictures, names, locations and other details that could easily be used against her or her family?

Think I'm paranoid? Maybe so, but I'd rather not take the chance.

I work for a reputable company where people are well-paid. Things still end up stolen. There is always "free food" in the breakrooms from whatever class or event just finished up. Food still ends up missing from the refrigerators. People have lots of flexibility to work the hours they need to as long as things get done. They still come to work and goof off.

If you think I'm paranoid, check the reality around you. Everyone isn't as honest as you might be. And yes, I hacked this blog to add myself as an editor without even asking (though I'm sure she would have added me if I asked). Think it was difficult? Nope.

Finally, to recap some of the prior blog entries here, with my special pragmatic spin (Muhahahaha!):

  1. Olympics on television sucks (how much gymnastics and swimming can one person watch before they vomit?). I have nothing against individual achievement, or watching China get disgraced for cheating. What happened to interesting sports, though, or for that matter, at least some variety? Are we *that* vanilla in this country now, or have we just become complacent about what TV feeds us?
  2. Doctors make you wait because they get paid no matter what ails you or how long you sit around. The only thing that trumps this rule is if you're bleeding profusely (I mean, like "Carrie" kind of blood).
  3. Baseball games are only fun if you're actually in the stadium. And really, if you're in the stadium you're not there for the game -- you're there for the hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, Dippin' Dots eaten out of a bowl shaped like a baseball cap and chance the drunk guy behind you is going to spill his beer all over you.
  4. Thanks a bunch, dear spouse, for putting pictures of my whale self up for the entire planet to see. Now let the real vomiting ensue.
  5. And since we've come full circle on the subject of gastrointestinal problems, I wholeheartedly invite all you blog-happy nuts to visit the Food Poisoning, Foodborne Illness blog: http://barfblog.foodsafety.ksu.edu/
