Today while dealing roulette, one of the Pit Bosses came up to me and helped chip up a little, to make my job easier. This is all normal, but the small talk caught me off guard:
“Oh hey, I read your blog the other day James.”
“Wait what? Uhh, which one?”
“Um, something skittles.”
“Oh yeah. What post?”
“The one about Infinite Fortune. I wasn’t the one who found it, one of the shifties did, and showed us.”
“Oh…what did he think?”
At this point I’m shitting myself. I wasn’t sure if we were allowed to write about work, even though it was positive there was always a chance they’d seen something they didn’t like. Not only that, but I’m not exactly proud of my writing, and it’s kind of embarrassing having my boss see it; it’s like someone stumbling upon a video of me failing at the guitar, or of me humping a milk carton. Oh wow, thank god they didn’t see that.
“He was just like ‘free advertising!’. I mean, it was all positive. He called us over to check it out and was all ‘Is that…’ and we just nodded and replied ‘Yeah, that’s one of our dealers.’”
Thank god. It’s going to be okay. The embarrassment remained, but at least I wasn’t going to be in trouble or anything.
“Oh ok. I wasn’t sure if we were allowed to write stuff like that, even though it wasn’t derogatory or anything.”
“Nah James, it was cool, don’t worry about it.”
“Guess I’ll have to watch what I write on here, in case I write something incriminating.”
He laughed, then left to go perform some other job. It’s kind of scary when you find out other people have read your stuff, in particular when those people happen to be your immediate superiors.
Needless to say, I’ll have to watch what I write on here from now on1.
- I won’t actually, I’ll probably say something stupid and get fired. But hopefully when that time comes it’ll be worth it!
