One of my favorite past times is to surf through the ever growing world of blogs. You can find them everywhere. MySpace, Blogger, Word Press, personal websites….but for those of us who are not internet savvy to have our “own” website we are at the mercy of these places that allow us for “free” to post our thoughts, feelings, comments, etc out on the internet.
I have been contemplating moving my blog over to WordPress and have even gone over and signed up for a new account, but after having to wait for about 10 minutes for one page to load I am thinking better of it. The nice thing about Wordpress is that it seems to me there are a lot more features that allow for more personalization of the site than what Blogger offers. However, I am sure that there is a way to customize and do all the changes I want to my blog in Blogger again I am not internet savvy in HTML code to do all of these changes.
I am not in as much of a funk as I have been over the past few days. I am really looking forward to my vacation that is coming up this next week. It is so long overdue…I need some time to recharge my batteries and just chill. I am really contemplating leaving my cell phone at home, but I know that about the time I decide to do that my work will need to get a hold of me for some odd reason. How to print a check, how to pay a bill how to park their car…who knows.
One of the biggest pet peeves I have about my office right now, more specifically my boss is that he will stand outside my office in the hall and try to dunk shot a stack of mail into my in-box. This inevitably fails for many reasons 1) he is not athletic at all, 2) stacks of mail do not float like a basketball 3) the shot was doomed from the beginning when he said “And he shoots for two.” Therefore, I end up going to the other side of my desk and picking up twelve – one hundred pieces of mail that he has just thrown at me. Now I know that he is just trying to have fun and be silly, but this is a balding man with a comb-over….funny is not in his repertoire of things he can be.
Another annoyance is the man who has the office next to me. Twice a week without fail he can be caught clipping his nails….EEWWW. He doesn’t bother to shut the door or anything….he just clips away for all the office to hear. You would think eventually someone would say something to him, but nope…and the clipping goes on and on and on….I wish I could say something to him, but he is a level above me and I am sure it would cause issues….I have gotten to where I go outside at the first sound of a clip…I think I left something in my car is always the excuse I use….
Well, I have a stack of things on my desk to do and less than 16 hours left in this week to get them done….Oh My how time flies when you are overworked, underpaid…and generally just over looked!!!
Happy Thursday!

Don't even get me started on Annoying Co-Workers!
“And he shoots for two.”
Actually, Wordpress (to me) gives you a little less personalization.
It won't take most website trackers due to the java code you'll need.
I was thinking about changing back to Blogger but it'd just be a headache.
Just in case you were ever thinking about it. Stay away from Typepad. It's damn near impossible to customize and once you've established there it's a real pain to try to switch to something else.
Thanks for all the comments about wordpress/blogger/typepad...I am sure I will probably stay here as I have had to re-create my favorite blogs list three times...that is a pain in the ass...
Hi I really like your blog, was wondering if you would want to join my directory? http://www.weblog-index.com/
Have a great vacation! Thanks, Shelly
I'm jealous of your vacation. Ride a rollercoaster for me, o.k.?
Overworked and underpaid... I hear you.
I have wordpress, and yes it lacks the ease for customizing, but then I suck at customizing. lol But, I have found that it is not slow loading. It might just be the server where the blog is located. Mine seems to run pretty smooth.
I looked a lot of different blog sites and finally decided on WP. Best of luck with your choice. :)
There's a huge difference between Wordpress.COM and Wordpress.ORG, it's the same blogging software yes, but the .COM allows almost no customization, it is completely free however.
Self-hosted Wordpress is much better, it's also free to use, but you have to have your own domain name and pay a monthly fee for the server, as low as $3.99 a month at someplace like GoDaddy.com.
And nasty, nasty on the toe clipping guy!
Hey - where are you?
