Censorship


A word on censorship in regards to Under The Table And Dreaming....

When I first started this blog, it felt quite liberating. A little place on the internet that I could call home. I could say whatever I wanted with no repercussions. When I started this last year, it was strictly personal, nothing to hide.

As time went on and I got a job with Chipotle, I started writing about my experiences there. At the time, I was still flying under the radar. At one point during this past summer, I linked my blog to Twitter, where Twitter users could easily access my blog directly. After a short series of messages back and forth, the guys over at the "Official Chipotle Twitter" (http://twitter.com/#!/ChipotleTweets) decided to follow my account. It wasn't long after when they informed me that they checked out my blog, and wished my luck on all future endeavors, and the road to Restaurateur. This was pretty cool, but also probably s small turning point in the blog. From then on I realized I couldn't say anything detrimental or harmful about the company. I can't see myself doing that anyway, but now I know that there are eyes in Denver and they are watching.

So from here on out, my aspects of my work life will be censored. What will NOT be censored, is parts of my personal life. I post things whenever I'm feeling inspired, or feel like I have something to share. When doing this, I usually try to include something that Frank posted onto PostSecret from the previous week. Some of the secrets I post are random, while others sometimes hold some kind of significant meaning. Most readers would usually never be able to differentiate the two, (but isn't that half the fun?) I always pick the ones that touch me in some way.

I don't pick them for anyone else, I pick them for me.

Needham What?!?!

I haven't updated since mid. November, I'm slacking..kinda. All kinds of crazy things have gone down on Needham St, and I've had very little free time. After loosing my entire management team, I've had to start from scratch over the past few weeks. 1250 was looking pretty ugly for a bit, but we're on the right track now. We're still a bit short on management, but we're constantly developing the new folks. We have a great time everyday, and everyone is loving their jobs. I'd say by the beginning of March, we will be in a great spot.

Unfortunately, I've noticed that because work has gotten so crazy, I've slipped off the radar in many aspects. Christmas was the first time I had seen my best friend since August, something that embarrasses me to say. I saw my Grandmother at the beginning of December, and she was quite disappointed that she hadn't heard a peep in many weeks. I often forget that these people will not be around forever. I think I'm making that my one New Year's resolution.

Pick up the phone and call the ones you care about most. .

2010 was an awesome year, and I'm really looking forward to the next one.
