Boss: And how's the blog?
Me: Numbers are good. We got picked up on Gothamist yesterday, Andrew Sullivan today. The Tolstoy post is still going strong. And Bobby's starting a column called "Chimps & Sharks: Nature's Best Friends."
Boss: What? No. Absolutely not. Do I have to start checking your content?
Me: He's not really--wait, you mean you don't read the blog?
