The UnBlog

Some of you may have noticed that I'm not blogging much lately, in fact my last entry was on the 6th of this month!

The truth is that right now I don't feel particularly enthused about this and I certainly can't give anyone the "life of a middle manager" at the moment as I'm still out of work.

I will be trying to blog a bit more frequently in the next little while but something interesting has to happen first; I am painfully aware after looking through some older entries that there are a lot of whinges there and I really want to move away from that into something more positive.

So, bear with me. Hopefully this blog will be more readable and positive soon.

I've also thought about renaming the blog but have held off so far because I can't think of a good new name! ;)

Hi Gary,

Know the feeling about the whinging mate, I'm going through a bit of a whinge at the moment myself.

I've figured that at the end of the day, a blog is a reflection of your personal life, and it should be about what you want to say. I do agree with your point about trying to be positive though, but don't be too hard on yourself about past whinging :)

Good luck with the Job Hunting.

Frank

you could change the name of your blog? (as Middle Manager is not quite where your life is at right now)... and most certainly if you feel like taking a break that is fine and dandy. Blogging should be out of a want or need or enjoyment, not a chore.

Greetings from Dayton, Ohio USA, mate!

I agree with what Frank and Desiree have said. Your blog is about you, and, if you choose to include your reflections, even, whingings, and whatever, then so be it.

I also have felt and do feel "The Editor" lurking in my consciousness, ready to stifle what I write or to lead me to write something because I want to make readers head over to my blog.

I guess we all have our own reasons for maintaining a blog, and, unless someone else takes it over, it's still ours.

On a different topic, I have a job hunting weblog, entitled "Get That Job!" (URL: http://getthatjob.blogspot.com) that I've been maintaining since July 2002. I encourage you to check it out; perhaps you will find something helpful.

Take care and keep in touch!

Cheers!
