It was 1.2 degrees at 5am, yet another cold morning. I am quite awake this morning, but it would have been so nice to keep lying in the warm bed. Baubles the Cat got up with me and went and had a drink, then went back to bed. Smart cat.
Sweeeeeeet elixir

Was just reading blisspix’s post on blogging and her general rule “I don’t blog about work”. Thinking about this blog, I’d have to say the same thing. I have really tried to stay away from posting about specific work-related happenings at work, because that would be a real mine field. I have mentioned things that have happened at work, but only in general terms, like the RSS and blogs presentation (of which I have done FOUR now, they have been so popular). Mind you I did have my wee rant about feeling unvalued…
I don’t know if this is a librarian’s blog, in the sense that I haven’t really been writing about Issues in Librarian World like some librarians do. They do it so eloquently, I think I should leave it to them. This is more a blog about Issues in CW’s World, I think. It’s a librarian’s blog, in the sense that I am a librarian…
I haven’t actually shown anyone at work this blog, although I know a couple of people at work do read it. (I think M told them about it!) I don’t really know what’s stopping me from mentioning it. I have actually created a blog that I use for work purposes, and which I think some people at work do read (because I sent them the URL). It makes me laugh when I think that I am maintaining two blogs at the moment!
I still think of this blog as an experiment, and I never imagined anyone but me would look at it. When I started, I didn’t have any aims beyond playing with Blogger and checking out various blogging tools. Then I realised blogging was a good way to give myself time (and a reason) to write. And it’s fun!
Why do you blog? Or if you don’t, why not?
*I had no title in mind this morning. This title is from my spam poetry collection, chosen for its amusement value. I didn’t point it out, but yesterday’s title was spam poetry too. What’s happening to me??!

yes – never ever blog about work. A programmer at Friendster was fired when she commented about how much better the system was after a code change. WTF, right? But RSS is benign enough as a subject. 🙂
Why do I blog? I love seeing my own words, getting comments and oh yeah – working out the frustrations one gets from being single. 😉
p/s relevant or not, that’s a great title.
Proviso: Only if the milkshakes are made from soy milk! Heh.
actually “accept what people off, drink their milkshakes…” is from “she’s come undone” a book by wally lamb.
