So I was down in Massachusetts today to wish my mom a happy Mom's Day, and while talking to my dad he mentioned something about one of my cousins. You'll notice I never ever mention my cousins here in this blog, or even for the most part that I have cousins, and that is because they are -- with a few exceptions -- overbearing jerks. And that's just on the one side of the family. I don't discuss the other side and those cousins because they have mostly ceased to exist in my mind to the point where I usually forget all about them. That has to do with a pair of very long stories that aren't worth getting into here, except to say that in the second of those stories I sided with my mom against my aunt, who is a looney bird, and that's that.

Anyway, my dad was saying that one of my cousins got fired from his job over stuff written in his blog, and while he was saying it there was a big HMMMMM going through my mind. Now, this particular cousins is one of the ones I can't stand the most, and he's really kind of an arrogant little prick, so there's a good chance he was spouting off in arrogant prick-like manner, and he probably really deserved it. Even so, seeing as how I talk about my own job in this blog ... it gives me some pause. I don't think I really get into enough detail about anything that I'm anywhere close to revealing company secrets, nor do I say negative things about the company and my employers, but it probably wouldn't hurt to be really careful.

I have been careful enough, at least, that the blog here only has a small handful of readers (is that redundant? does anyone ever say 'large handful'?), and outside of those people nobody else I know even knows that I have a blog. Although, if I didn't know better I would think that my dad does know and was kinda passing that info along to me for this exact reason. But I don't think he does. If he did, he'd also know about that one something else (the big secret I have), and there's been no signs of that. I'll just chalk it up to coincidence that my last post logged here was a work related post.

So then. For the benefit of anyone reading this outside of the five or six readers that I know about: I *love* my job. I think it's the best place I've worked pretty much ever. I'm enjoying myself while doing it, and while it's hard work sometimes, and can be frustrating, I get a feeling of accomplishment out of it that hasn't been there in previous jobs. And I work for good people. My boss and my group leader are worlds better than the morons, assholes, and bitches I've worked for in the past. If I have my way, I'll stay there for years to come.

Ok. I think that covers me.
