I've never googled myself, but I went out last month with a co-worker who told me that he had googled my name. He said he found mention of me in some boring on-line medical publications (several years ago I built a cancer reporting program that's still in use). I was thrilled to be mentioned in the journals but really creeped out that he was googling me (it was all in the way he told me about it). Needless to say, we haven't had a second date. It just seemed so... invasive, you know?
Now I'm *really* glad I use a pen name to write under. I used to use my maiden name but now I just use the initial "S". I would freak twice and die if anyone I worked with knew what I write about in my spare time.
