I’ve broken one of my own rules …

Not the do not date a co-worker; not the do not sleep with your friends; not the do not pick your nose in public; but the do not blog when you have nothing interesting to say rule. Shame, shame C-Dub, shame, shame. Yes I’ve given myself a nickname. One of my guy friends has taken to calling me that and so now I use it here.

Anyway, I hate those really pointless blogs – the ones that people write that recap their day-to-day crap. I don’t care that you had some Cheerios for breakfast there turbo. Needless to say I’ve had nothing really of merit to say. Actually correction, I have had a few things of merit to say but now I don’t know who reads this thing and I just learned of “Google Alerts” where your blog can be picked up by these alerts if you mention something some one has set an alert on. For example say I work for McDonalds and I want to see what people are saying. I can set up a Google Alert and have emails hit me once a day containing all articles and blogs that mentioned McDonalds. I have one set up for work since I’m in Marketing and every time my companies name is written about we get an email alert – with links.

And it’s bad folks. This one lady wrote a fantasy blog about having two lovers and in this fantasy they took her to see a show at my work. We all gathered around the computer and read it out loud too. So you see Google Alerts can be bad - super bad. Although I did discover I am Dirrty Robot because of the alerts and it’s a pretty fun blog.

So now I need to come up with a code name for my job and maybe code names for all my friends too. I’ve been just using first initials because one of my friends does that in his blog and I thought it was genius. But there are some crazes at my job that I’m dying to write about. They are coo-coos riding the crazy train straight through coo-coo town. One of them is so crazy that every time he/she speaks my mouth hangs open in pure shock.

Okay this is a pretty long blog for someone who started out complaining that she didn’t have anything cool to say. Not that I think what I say is cool, just … oh never mind.
