Now, be honest - have you ever googled yourself? And if so, what did you find?
According to Google, I am variously:
I would also appear to be at least 164 years old. I reckon I'm wearing pretty well!!
Ok, so they're not all me - but it's fun finding your alter egos. But what happens when you do search for yourself, your real self, what do you find?
Me? I find that I talk a lot about post offices, about schools, occasionally about hospitals, about carbon reduction, green networks and superfast broadband. Topically for this week, I've also spoken about forced marrianges. And I attend lots and lots and lots of meetings!
You'll also find this blog, my Facebook page and even my former beaded jewellery craft business.
But just this week I reached a new level of fame - or perhaps, infamy. I am now a character in a crime book. Sadly I'm not the villain of the piece, nor am I the heroine. I am instead a bit part player, a WPC CCTV operator who appears for a chapter in the latest novel by local author, Craig Robertson. Am I sure it's me? Yes, absolutely - I bought my appearance by way of a donation at a charity event.
And I confess it's a giggle, well worth the donation if you ask me!! Still, I think I'd rather have been the one-legged lesbian coal miner from Lochgelly that Craig promised I'd be...

It is fun... but also scary to see what pops up in your name....! At least you can find yourself: my husband has an alter-ego who is a bigwig in US ski-ing circles.
Btw, no coal miners left in Lochgelly, which is probably why your character was changed to a WPC :-)
It is odd to think that our musings will be stored electronically somewhere in the great cyber ether and be accessed at the touch of a button in 100, 200 or 1,000 years from now (unless there a digital meltdown.... but that's another story....)
