No, they can't *do* anything about it, but it would make me look bad in the eyes of the old men that I have to work with and need to learn from.

I'm making sure people in RL don't know about my LJ (well, there's a guy in the scifi club at uni I'm thinking of introducing to the PPC, but he's nice, so ...) for the same reason.
Would it really get you any worse trouble than some funny looks, though? I don't really see how what you do in your spare time is his business.

No need for confuzzlement, Sedri dear. Nothing's disappearing from the lj, it's just all being flocked. And since Trojie's got you friended, that means you can still get at everything. See, it'll work fine.

Take as much time as you need, I don't mind at all. Those things are much more important, though I'm glad your father's apparently feeling at least somewhat better (I mean, there wouldn't be talk of letting him out if he wasn't, unless the doctors have gone loopy). Hope it all goes over well, though.

That would be very handy!
(minor update - I'm keeping my LJ for personal stuff and friendslocking it, and PPC and fic stuff will go onto two separate journals co-owned by Pads and I on Dreamwidth)

... I have to work with him, and will do for the rest of my life. NZ geology and palaeontology isn't such a big field that I can risk making a huge deal of this. It's best to just let it blow over, which I am doing. If he and I fell out over it, not only would I end up losing a mate (yes, a mate who's currently being a dickhead, I know) but also a potential collaborator and someone who would then in the future probably be in the right place to, if he so chose, reject any of my academic papers that came his way for review. Not that I think he *would*, but it's worth bearing in mind.
I appreciate the sentiment a lot, just so you know. But duck and cover is still my best option :)

I've already had the 'friendly, joking' blackmail threats, and everytime he says the word 'art' or 'creativity' in front of anyone else he gives me the I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER eyebrow.
A) There is NO SUCH THING as a friendly joking blackmail threat, blackmail is NOT FUNNY and people have been ruined by this sort of thing
and
B) I now feel kind of violated.
I know it'll blow over and it was my own stupid fault for forgetting to lock an entry that had a word pertinent to his research interests in it, but ... it's like a gut-punch to have someone actually tell you that they think you're disgusting, even if they said it supposedly jokingly, and then to, even 'jokingly', threaten that they've 'saved all the bits they need' and that they could 'have fun' with this ... it hurts.

I got scolded for talking about work on a LiveJournal during my internship last summer. It could have been worse--it could have been a real job--and this is a slightly different situation, but I still feel your pain. Hopefully it won't come to anything major. *hug*

Some fic just makes you want to hide in a corner...or strangle something. Or both!
I have two kill lists, one for sporking and one for PPC if I get permission. Sadly no matter how much sporking I do the first list seems to get longer...
