I mean, while I was in law school I posted all sorts or outrageous things: crushes on professors, wacky awards that could possibly be considered offensive by some, chronicles of my alcohol-related high jinks. I never felt truly restricted in what I could post here, and that whole baring my soul to the masses thing kind of worked for the hundred or so people who visited per day.

But now? I feel really limited in what I can post. I find myself being responsible (BAH!) and doing things like asking myself whether a certain post would violate confidentiality rules and/or whether it's appropriate to post that a particular client annoys the hell out of me. I hesitate to post about other attorneys because what if they find this blog, figure out it's them I'm talking about, and then act all weird around me from then on. And I can't post about the super handsome judge because, um, so much more inappropriate than blogging about a super handsome law professor.

It's as if the bright line rule of inappropriateness that I could see so clearly while in law school has wasted away to the point where it's not really a line at all so much as a blur, and something that I wouldn't have thought twice about posting during school would now never make it on the intrawebs.

All of this, of course, makes it hard to really get the feel for Blogging While Employed. I've actually written ten or so entries that I kept locked because I wasn't sure where on the blurry "line" they fell. (Okay, yeah, that's totally just an excuse for my poor blogging habits these days, but it's somewhat valid, right?)

So, I'm going to try to come up with a list of bloggable topics (feel free to contribute) and see if I can't salvage the AC. Right now I'm leaning towards an in-depth post looking at bailiffs and whether or not they're date-able. ;)
