So work is cool and all, but I have lots of down time when I’m not babbling incoherent (but nonetheless entertaining!) nonsense on the air. So I pretend to work by typing madly on the computer, when I’m really just browsing Wikipedia, Facebook, and other mindless websites.
Shameless plug!
Jack’s Pretty Sweet Blog. It’s actually called the Obnoxious Sidekick, if we want to get technical here.
Today I learned you can, in fact, have a blog about nothing
AND STILL BE ENTERTAINING!
Kudos to Jack, the blogger. I randomly found his witty material and was thoroughly enjoying myself for a good few hours. Anything to waste time like that here at work is given hearty thumbs up. Maybe I just like it because he’s an aspiring journalist, like myself. He blogs on various nerd things such as videogame reviews, some “robot” they have running around, his college experiences, and frequently posts videos of himself and friends playing Sony’s “Singstar” — basically nerd karaoke (that’s my favorite). Altogether wonderful stuff. Check it out.
So it seems very poetic that I got so bored on my last day of work before the holidays that I decided to Google myself (a crime rarely committed, and even more rarely admitted to). And here I stumble upon this blog with a fantastic plug and ego boost! Thank you very much, I’m glad someone is enjoying my work.
Cheers to us journalism majors. And props to you for doing radio. It’s a field I’ve always had interest in, but, much like my aspirations to become a voice actor for cartoons, I realized you have to have a voice that doesn’t confuse people about your gender. So alas, I hide behind writing.
So now I get to read through your blog for the next couple hours. What a far more entertaining way to waste the day than searching for my own name on the Internet.
