A Life of Anonymity

I know a lot of people are really big on putting everything about themselves out where the world can see it. I'm not one of those people. I am pretty much the opposite and try to live my life off the radar. Always have. I think one of the main reasons I stayed out of trouble at school is because I didn't want to go to the principal's office. Never wanted to have run-ins with the authority figures in my life, so I behaved. It's worked well for me. 

Anyway, new job, new responsibilities, and all of a sudden I have my name and quotes in a press release that has a huge audience. In the millions, possibly. At any rate, much larger than the handful that read this or anything I ever wrote at my last job. And even though so far, it's only quotes in articles written by other people, it's my work being promoted, and another article that I actually wrote is coming out, and I expected it would require way more editing than anyone has done. 

I have never really been into the fame part of fame and fortune (I could go for the fortune part, though) but it's always been theoretical in the past. Now, I can definitely say, I don't like fame. And I don't even have it. I don't even like the prospect of fame. A little special attention from the people I know and love, that's usually more than enough. 

So, whatever you do, don't dig up my name on the net. Thank you.
