As soon as I read the opening line "Here is my chronicle of my
struggle with my employer" I switched off, and closed it down.

Nothing personal, but I couldn't give a flying fcuk about your
personal petty arguments. There are over 20,000 people lying dead
around the Kashmir area of Asia, hundreds of thousands more facing
imminent death; how is your problem significant?

Okay, I look back once more. I see, it's actually just an excuse for
an advertising hoarding. Nah, give it up and get a real job. You'll
make far more and more ethically as a waitress in a coffee shop.

Not taken personally. I wouldn't and didn't compare my situation to anyone
else's. Yes, there are much more serious issues in the world. This
particular issue only effects about 12,500,000 people from Ontario.

Just for your future reference:
Blog as defined by the 2005 version of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate
Dictionary, Eleventh Edition, as follows:
Blog noun [short for Weblog] (1999) : a Web site that contains an online
personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided
by the writer.

I'm growing tried of being accused of this.

You set such high aspirations for me. I wonder if you would make the same
suggestion to a man.

All this time I never realized you were a burrowing marine or freshwater
bivalve mollusk, but it's good to know you held your ground and remained
clam when Julie yelled at you.

Research: a clam that consists of two similar separable parts.

Actually two separable parts would be an understatement. I have many more
multiple personalities :-)

A bit of information design wouldn't go amiss.

I think you'd actually get a lot of support from people if you put your
core issues up-front, and be a little more agitprop in your style.

A hard-hitting introductory statement about employers invading the
privacy of it's employees might make people want to read it a bit more.
The fact that its local government going against your own countries bill
of rights just adds fuel to the fire.

Whilst your blog chronicles your personal struggle, there are (near)
universal themes, and a much bigger picture: the oppressed worker, the
liberties taken by so-called managers (who have probably had no
training), the dangers of information technology to breach privacy.
These things are hooks that other disgruntled employees might respond to.

Also, reverse date order. I want to see the latest post at the top, and
scroll down to see the history, not the other way around!
