Wow. I spent the last week totally covered up with epic searches -- the ones that allow me to tell great stories about my clients to my candidates and vice versa. By Friday I was actually kinda burned out, thinking that my assistant and I really needed help.
That was before I decided to stop working on Sundays. Yep: Right there in the Third Commandment. No computer on Sunday. It's a hard habit to break. Try it some time. It's like breaking a nasty cigarette fix. Anyhoo, Sunday 11:30pm rolls around, and I start looking forward to midnight so I can do something productive -- as if spending the day with my four kids isn't productive.
Then I start reading Bloglines ...
It's depressing how many great blogs there are out there -- and how trying to maintain a two blogs is a hamster wheel from hell. Hugh. Recruiting.com. Recruiting Animal. Cheezhead. Kathy Sierra. Tara. Evelyn. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Their content is always so fresh and connected and current and engaging and stuff. Not mine.
Business is great and blogging sucks. My revenues are up and my Alexa ranking is down. One pays the bills, and the other _________. What? WHAT?? What does blogging actually do?? Even if I could be creative, where in the hell would I find the time? My schedule's already ten pounds of crap in a five pound bag. This blogging thing is a cruel mistress. I want off.
Not really.
