While I think you should further your career and fulfil your potential, I agree with you that the reality is that in your role, as press officer would conflict with your other interests. While going down the LAS line on any particular subject, airing your real views on your blog would just land you in so much trouble that its realistic to assume you would not be seriously considered for the job, assuming your bosses know that it is you that writes this blog. I guess it all depends on what means more to you. The job or this blog. Tough call, I don't know what I would do. I guess mortgage / rent / quality of life would win me over. But having said that, while you do rant quite a bit about things that justifiably piss you off in your current job, we all know you love it.
