Blog swap

I’ve come in to work, only to find there’s absolutely nothing whatsoever that needs doing before the meeting at half past one. Crap. Thank goodness I overslept and didn’t get here till ten…

So I guess I won’t be billing many hours today, given that I’m mostly checking my emails and now writing my first ever blog post from here… Oh dear, bad precedent… But since I get paid per hour, I don’t feel so guilty, I just won’t bill for this. It all works out. I can’t just sit here not doing anything at all except translating a phrase into English every hour or so when the lady sitting across from me needs help…

Anyway, on Monday the big 20something blog swap will be turning the blogosphere upside down (I should probably try to empty my reader before then, so that I can just sit back and enjoy the guest posts, but other than just deleting everything again, I can’t see it happening, I haven’t dared open it again since the weekend…). I’ve been paired up with Ashley from Our Little Appartment. I was kind of hoping to get a blog I didn’t particularly like, given the state of my reader anyway. But I guess that would have been too much to ask. And awkward anyway. As it is I’ve discovered another great blog to waste time reading… ;-)

If I actually read every single post that appears in my reader, I’d be doing nothing other than eating, sleeping and keeping up with blogs…

I’m a bit worried now: I’m not good at writing to order. It’s why I’ve never submitted anything to the blog carnevals. And now I’m supposed to write a post to go on someone else’s blog by Sunday night. It’s not the actual writing of the post I’m worried about, I’ve got various posts darting around in my head. It’s the fact that it’s supposed to go on someone else’s blog… What are the rules of conduct? Sometimes I worry to much. And sometimes I don’t worry enough. Problem is, I can only tell with hindsight…

So, what should I write about on Ashley’s blog? I think the one about parachuting being the ideal way to commit suicide is not really suitable. Sorry, I’ve been having a really crap week at home… It’s a good thing I’m a perfectionist or I’d have topped myself ages ago…

Anyway, to lighter topics… (I’m feeling slightly more cheerful less depressed, don’t worry, the danger’s over)

Hmm, a friend of mine from highschool is having a garden party on Saturday evening, maybe I can post about that… Will take a pencil and pad to take notes, see what they think of that ;-)
