Writing at Work

Well, I know it won’t be something I do a lot of, but in the last week or so I’ve had to do some researching and writing at work, starting with that blog post last week, and it’s just killing my motivation to write anything here in the evenings. Heck, I’ve been struggling just to post anything to Twitter! I’m not suffering from writer’s block, but perhaps writer’s burnout?

It’s a bit like spending a good part of your work day fighting malware infections and coming home to an infected PC, there’s just no spare mental energy for that, so it’ll sit until things change.

I won’t let the blogs just sit, that’s not acceptable to me, but you may see just some shorter thoughts, and just some link with a pithy comment or two of my own. Of course, as soon as I post this, there’s bound to be some idea floating around the ‘Net that makes me want to write multiple paragraphs! 😉

Anyway, bear with me while I figure out the best way to adjust to these new writing responsibilities, and if you have any suggestions that might help, I’m all ears!

    Facebook Making Pages More Useless

    Given recent history of Facebook not showing posts from pages that you’ve liked and actually want to see posts from, the fact that they are coming out now and telling page owners that they are going to be displayed to even fewer fans in the future has me thinking about just dropping my Facebook pages…

    Lunch break from Class

    Utilizing the Wi-Fi in the training room to catch up on email, and uploading a handful of photos from the last couple of days. Class has been good in terms of learning, but it’s a mental drain. I’m looking forward to Friday and Saturday and being able to go back to just being a tourist….

    Linked – Social Media Is Dying

    While I would love to end this with a condemnation of venture capitalists and hedge fund managers, I think it’s important to point out that many of us are complicit. Fund managers seeking the best short-term profits for their investments run funds whose shareholders include most of us. When we log in and look at our IRA or 401(k) accounts, we look for how much the value has increased, not what makes the most sense for society. Our account balance looks a little nicer when a company lays off 10,000 employees and the stock price increases.

    It’s all entwined. To paraphrase Michael Corleone – “We’re all part of the same hypocrisy.”
