Ah ha - we meet again!
I am still thinking about this blog lark and wondering if it's for me. Do I want to tell anyone anything about me or just try to amaze people with wit and eloquence (fat chance!).
Do I want people to know "me" or what I tell them is me?
Am I doing this for me or for "you", to fill my life or yours?
Today for instance I feel like ranting on about my public sector employer; where planning how to tick boxes seems far more important then actually doing work that allows the boxes to be honestly ticked; where "post-implementation review" is a phrase heard so rarely that I have almost forgotten it means to measure achievement and useful functionality against that expected from a program of "planned" changes, that we .....
There you go - that's what I mean!
That sort of blog is not me. That's called moaning and is boring to write and even more boring to read, though to tell you I prefer woman with small hips and black people with small lips is so personal that such a blog would not be prudent and once again boring to read.
I have to give this blog more thought. I have to review my personal "Freakonomic"* imperatives for continuing with it.
I hope to see you again.......
* "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner, a Penguin Books paperback (ISBN 9780141019017 - 336 pages) from 2006.
An intriguing book; detailing the underlying economic imperatives behind many apparently unrelated real-world activities and observed realities. By processes of regression and deconstruction (with a light touch in the book), "freakish" truths are "proved". This book starts well, but by page 200 it starts the decent into repetition and self-publicising aggrandisement. Borrow it if you can.
