My First EVER Blog Post, wow...
I can't believe it has taken me so long to set up a blog, considering I have an education in computer science and have been working in high tech companies for over 20 years, I should have been on the bleeding edge of this BLOG thing, right? Actually I have been fighting it, never thought it had any value (ha). But recently, as an outlet, I have been surfing blogs, and I think I am becoming addicted to them. I have no idea why I would care about what's going on in a perfect strangers life....
I got sucked into the blog world when I read Jennifer Lancaster's book: Bitter is the new black. It was a scream, I laughed out loud in public places while reading (I got some strange looks). That book was based on her blogs and it piqued my curiosity, so I looked her blog up.
From there I have been blog hopping and finding all sorts of flavors of blogs. I have been gravitating to the medical blogs (perhaps that is because if I had it to do again I WOULD have gone to Medical School instead of getting my MBA and going down the business path.....I digress)
I have been encouraged by my management team to start a BLOG that is related to my line of work and deals with my expertise, but I figured I would start this one instead :-) I NEED an outlet for the crap I deal with daily.
Have you read the book "The Devil Wears Prada"? Well if you haven't then you won't understand when I say I work in an environment that is as dysfunctional and dictorial as that book depicts. I realize it’s about the fashion industry, but I "Live" a lot of that craziness in my organization. Our "leader" is a clone of the boss lady.....hence my need to vent.
Can't say that I will be posting all the time, just when it is the craziest and possibly when I have the least amount of time (I tend to find things to do other than work when I have a lot on my plate).
Ahh, I feel better already now that I have a place set up to vent.......

Congrats on starting the new blog. It looks great and I've bookmarked it so I'll definitely be back. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Here's all I know about blogs: First, get Site Meter. It will tell you who visits your blog and where they come from. StatCounter and Tracksy also track your visitors. I think the best way to attract visitors is to leave comments on other people's blogs. I rarely comment on other people's blogs, so I don't have that many readers or links to my blog. A couple of months ago, Kim at Emergiblog wrote a post to help nurses set up blogs. You might want to check that out. Blogging is kind of addictive after you start getting a few readers. Have fun.
Heh, Whine lover. I'm addicted to medblogs myself and wish I'd thought of that title first, but MBA beat me to it. I'm a newbie too, had an identity for quite a while, so I could comment. Just made myself a blog recently, now have three posts. I had a few comments on the first post then nothing since. I'm actually considering making a comment on my own blog every post, I hate to see that 0 comments. I see you have a blogroll and I haven't figured out how to do that yet. I'm not a good writer but I've been satisfied with my posts so far and frankly it's for yourself anyway, true? But I do love reading medblogs, my favourites are Musings from a Distractable Mind-Random Thoughts (it's hilarious) and Michael C Hebert, MD (it's quite a literary blog). But how I can I choose, I love them all and admire so much that they can write so well and have a practice and a life too. Heh, practically a post in itself. Good luck, I've added you to my favourites, got to get that blogroll stuff sorted out!
Regards
