I am officially being given shit for not posting

I confess, I have been delinquent in my duties in operating this blog. Basically, I haven't been doing much of anything for a good while. I apologize. That, apparently, is not enough for one of my loyal readers, who sent me an email bitching about the lack of anything to read. Yes, I've been busy with work, with lots of overtime in the last six months or so. On the other hand, in the last year or so I've had a lot of down time, and still didn't post. Yes, I am doing a lot of freelance writing lately, but I also have been lazy when it comes to the blog. Remiss. Delinquent. Call it what you will. Consider me shamed. I shall try to do better.

Just a traffic post

The Thanksgiving-Christmas season normally is not a good one for blog traffic -- people have better thinks to do -- and this year has been no exception. On the other hand, while I have only two other Decembers in my blog history for comparison, this one has been the best one yet, with a couple days still to go, and it isn't even close. So, thanks for coming by. I'll try to make it worth your while.

Guess the vacation's over

So I took Christmas off from blogging. And the day after. Boxing Day is, after all, a holiday in the UK. Mostly they drink, is my understanding. The libation of choice is a whiskey mac, or so I was told by a British girl I once dated. Apparently it involves whiskey and ginger ale. I was not so fortunate as to enjoy that tradition -- I was back at work Wednesday.  Cut the day short because we had yet another winter storm, with snow, freezing rain and the like. Kind of a disappointment, but still gave us another inch of snow or so.

So, in any event, we are back to blogging. Not that this gig is giving me anything to blog about. This might be the most boring job ever. And in Temp Town, that's saying something. Pretty much the only way to remedy that is to switch gigs, which I might be doing tomorrow. I'm starting a new job, but it's very short-term, so I'm not going to let my current gig know that I might never be back. Game plan is to say we're doing some holiday visiting. Then I'll see what occurs and take it from there. Maybe I'll be back to the Most Boring Gig Ever. Maybe not. Only time will tell.
