Time for an Alias

I work very hard to get my site on the top of the search engines. How else is a bodypainter going to get work? But I do have a day job, and I try to keep my two worlds - artist v. techie - separate, mostly to avoid any Human Resources Nazis from jumping to erroneous conclusions.

So here I am at my day job working tech support. I’m helping this customer like I always would... she’s a little odd for a 78 year old woman, and ummm, errr on the aggressive side. I always provide my first name when I talk to a customer. She is also pretty tech savvy for a “grey hair” and puts this together with my last name - which is on my e-mail - you know “ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ”. One google search later and OOPS.

Apparently I got the #1 slot even without having to enter a geographic location. Ah, the price of competency.

Now if it was just about the art, I’d say I had a fan. But sending me an e-mail at work, asking a legit tech question but following that rapidly with a request for a photo of me?

Ya, that’s stalker material and an H.R. grenade just waiting for the pin to be pulled!

Time for an ALIAS!
