So here we are day 23. I was talking with some friends last night. It was a serious business meeting in their hot tub and there may have been a few adult frosty beverages but, hey that is how we roll sometimes. The first question was about my blog. “Do you have anyone proofread you blog before you publish it?” HAHAHAHA, I seriously laughed. The answer is no and that, I am sure is no surprise to my regular readers. My editor at this stage is a squiggly red line under a word. However that does not cover know instead of no and it does not stop me from ending a sentence with a preposition or starting . . . which ever is a faux pax. I will be happy to share my English transcripts with you all and it will be no surprise that I did not do very well. I try to write this blog like I am speaking, conversational and well, that is not very great either but that is not the point.
I maintain that I have created this blog as mostly an accountability tool for myself. I have a habit now of writing every day and that being said I look for things to write about all day long. I weigh the experiences of the day and try to figure out what will be the best to write about. Last night my friend told me that even though that may be why I started, there are people reading this for more than just to hear my stories. Believe it or not some are actually listening to what I say and maybe even learning something and looking forward to hearing what I have to say.
That still being said, I cannot change who I am or how I communicate. I am a high school graduate with lots of street smarts and unfortunately English is not a requirement at Hard Knocks University. I hope you all can see past that and deal with it. I will try to do a better job of at least reading through it to find the obvious know vs. no mistakes, but that will be about as far as it goes. At the end of this journey if I decide to turn it into a book, that will be the editors job!
Today was a good day. I spent all of it in the office and never set foot outside. I have several things I am working on for wrapping up 2013 and others moving forward with 2014. I learned a new program and got a little bit better with Google Sketch-up. Lots of emails and a few phone calls. I actually got out of my pajamas only to put them right back on. Yeah I know my office life sucks LOL. It is nice to be working hard in your pajamas, don’t get me wrong, but I feel way more productive when I am dressed and even looking professional even if I am not leaving the house. You will just have to trust me when I say I feel a lot better talking with a customer or distributor when I am showered and dressed than when I am in my pajamas still.
Did I use the right word there? I can never remember if it is then or than.
Talk to you guys tomorrow!
