The End? To Blog or not to Blog...

Well it turns out that I am not much of a blogger at all... this being my second posting in since the original in August - almost 5 months! Well, if one was to review the points of my last posting, it is possible to see why I now 'have a bit more time' to blog:

1. Give me something to do while wondering when my job will end. - Well, my job ended as of October and now I flit between being happy to be out of the company to being unhappy that I am. I assume it is like breaking up from a girl you love... the pain will get less over time.
2. Allow me to procrastinate a little more before attempting to revise for my exam in two months time. - Hmmm.... well the stress of the job situation made revision virtually impossible (really not trying to give an excuse) so I took it & failed having done no work. Am taking the exam again in March, this time I have to pass it!

A good friend also got me thinking about doing an MBA, not sure it is worth it (and not sure I am MBA material) but I am looking at doing the GMAT test so I have an MBA as a fallback option should I fail to get a job.

3. Allow me to rant (not too much though, otherwise everyone will think I am the miserable b@stard I pretend I am not).

4. Allow me to vent the conversations I would love to have, except none of my friends is boring enough to listen to them. - I guess for both points 3 & 4 nothing has changed. That said, my complete lack of any views since my first post have led me to realise that no one will ever read what I am writing. That's fine by me; my aim now for this blog is to act as some kind of self-help where at least I can put my true thoughts down on paper.

5. Make comments on things I think are important which haven't been given the due attention in the press. Not done so far...

6. Give me the vague hope that someone will discover my posts and turn me into the internet sensation I never knew I wanted to be. - Definitely not going to happen.

SO the final question is whether it is really worth me doing a serious blog? At the moment I would say 'no' but I am going to go ahead with it, just in the hope it can help me keep my sanity in the 'lay-off' period I am to endure.

That said, I am experimenting with Twitter as well, so far it has been a bit rubbish but I reckon I just need to get in the frame of mind to 'tweet.' Until now, I have always considered Twitter & Facebook status updates to be a bit pretentious as no one really should care what I have to say... then I realised that I enjoy reading my friend's newsfeeds on Facebook, so I guess it is a worthwhile thing.

Anyways, time to be off... hopefully my next post will be a bit more timely and possibly more upbeat!

Happy New Year...
