Almost four years ago now, my Boss was reading my blog and I had no idea. He gave himself away when I wrote a nasty post about him (~waves to Boss~) and he called me out on it. Read it back to me, line by line, replying to each comment. I deleted that blog. He held it over my head that he had a copy and when he realized I was no threat to him (frankly, I am no threat to anybody, I'm not that kind of girl) he gave it back and we moved on. I have never said a word to him about it since and he doesn't bring it up either.
Well I think he would like me to think he moved on too. But part of me senses that he still searches for me, I can't explain it, it's just a feeling. (which might have to do with what seems like the several times a day he leans back in his chair and stares in my direction, trying to pry himself into my brain, while I ignore him and do my work) He has said things over the past year or two about knowing that I block my profile so that you can't see what blogs I write on (he is totally right on that and the reason is because I know he is still looking) I don't elaborate on what he is talking about and I always change the subject.
He did say to me, shortly after the whole blog-blow-up that he wished he was still reading it because then, at least, he knew where my head was at. That comment still makes me laugh, even today, because you could know me in real life and read my blog, AND I don't even know where my head is at. Come on now really ...
I am meticulous at work about covering my tracks. I never open or read my blog there. I don't do posts from my desk like I used to and so there is no trail to find me there. I also check my stats more frequently than back then and I check to see if anyone close is watching. (they are not, although I might freak myself out with supercool JennyJ but she always says DUH its me and I calm down) I even delete my history on my web browser twice a day (once before I got to lunch and once before I head home)
I EVEN check my Boss's computer because he often forgets to clear his history but I find nothing that indicates he is looking.
So I stop thinking about it ... and then he says something like this ... to me ... today ....
He was talking about computer monitors and how some people like theirs close to their keyboard and some people like theirs tilted up ... and then he said this ....
"I was on your computer the other day and the monitor tilts down and I can't stand that."
He said it in the middle of a conversation and people were coming into our office and the phone was ringing but I happen to catch that fleeting look on his face ....
The ~ohshitshesgoingtorealizeIwaslookingforherblog~ look.
And I continued on with my work, thinking in my head .... you bastard ....

He is definitely not over it. Maybe you should create another blog..you know, just for HIM.
I think it's like his daily soap opera fix. He enjoyed knowing more about you than he should have before, and it's addictive to him. He needs to get a life.
