Google Alert – False Alarm

Earlier this week, I got this Google Alert:

My diary – More thoughts on TGAW. But not too many…
Working with TGAW. I know that I have no chance with her and that is because she is married and so am I. I also have a family. And I know that the grass is …

“What the–” I thought and clicked on it.  It pointed to the diary of a married man who fancies a woman he works with.  This had me quite confused (especially since I usually work from home) until I finally realized he wasn’t talking about me.  TGAW = The Girl At Work.  Duh.

The fact that he lives in the U.K. was a strong indicator he wasn’t talking about me.  In retrospect, this line in the very first paragraph should have been a clue:

And perhaps this line as well:

And I bet she has a temper although I’ve never seen anyone give her reason to lose it.

Whoever this other TGAW is… she obviously doesn’t work with Microsoft technologies.
