nightmare time

[chase_acow]

Apparently IT flagged a website on my work profile on Jan 10th - it had started to block some image content so I was annoyed if nothing else. When I got into work yesterday, my boss caught me, told me that happened, and asked about what the website was. I said I had no idea what he was talking about. He said Captain had looked at it and said it was some sort of creative writing site. I thought maybe it was Ellipsus because it wanted rights to store locally, he seemed tickled, but kept telling me I wasn't in trouble. I went okay, and internally whatever, because I of course give no fucks about this work place right now, other than making sure I get a paycheck.

Then I realized that the content blocking had started on Dreamwidth.

Then I spiraled.

I think I'd already locked all the work related entries where I specifically called out their bullshit, but obviously I DO NOT WANT MY BOSSES ON THIS JOURNAL!!!!

DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER

So, I figured out how to mass access lock all my entries, which is a bummer during the most active month of the year. And when I was trying to post more. I changed all the fic access on AO3 to registered users only, which I didn't want to do. And I don't really know what else to do now. This user name is linked to all my writing, all the kink memes - which I have outgrown, but also all the everything. I love it. It's been me for decades.

Do I abandon everything? Do I just go on with my life because the cows are definitely out of the barn already? They probably don't care. They can't afford to fire me any time soon. - And I don't think I actually broke any rules.

Oh no that's so gross and invasive D:

Ahhhh I'm so sorry! As someone who once accidentally had their goodreads attached to facebook and didn't realize until their supervisor friended them... I commiserate.

I vote for waving at the cows on their freedom journey, quite the mind fuck though.

Honestly? They don't care. If I understand correctly, they blocked Dreamwidth? They have NO IDEA that DW is 'you'. You were on a random site on a random journal. The content is locked. They can't do anything with it and, frankly, the curiosity level of someone in a job like that for a random, non-porn site? Nil to less than nil. Don't stress it, ignore it, leave your DW locked, you'll be fine. I'm sorry you're having anxiety over it but, truly - they don't care and won't care.

Oh no, that had to be a shock. But I say just get on with your life, especially if you haven't actually broken rules.
