there really never is a "just because"

About 9 months ago, I decided that I was a horrible blogger. I was not witty. I hardly ever actually posted a blog. I was too busy partying and my computer was broken. I knew that my blog would never be one of those blogs listed under "Cool New Blogs" or "Check These Out!" and I will admit, that at a time of weakness, I just quit my blog.

I am still probably going to be the worst blogger ever, but now there is method to my madness. Recently, I joined America's working population and finally, I understood why the punch lines in Office Space were so funny, why people went crazy over Sudoku, and why Dilbert is the way he is. It didn't take me long to realize that working at a desk all day, for five days a week was BORING. Within the first 20 minutes of beginning my job, I had found the daily crossword puzzle online. By Day 2, I installed aim and was talking to my friends every five minutes. By the end of Week 1, I had been on facebook.com more times than I had during the prior 2.5 years of my profile's existence.

In early September, I found myself sitting next to the new guy at work, we will call him D, basically because he doesn't even know I am writing about him. We got to talking and one day, he re-introduced me to the blogging world. I sat at my desk for a solid two hours, reading, laughing, commenting, and absolutely loving. Even though reading blogs had become my favorite way to waste time or "take a break", I was still not ready to look up my old "Kelly the Hotelie" blog. I knew that I just sucked too bad. And I was a little scared of the commitment all these other bloggers had to their blog lives.

Last week, I was reading blogs at my desk, laughing my head off (but trying to cover it with this hacking, snorty cough that I am pretty sure no one ever believes) and I decided to read my good friend Hotelie Blogger (http://hotelieblogger.blogspot.com, if you are interested). She was so funny and I decided I needed to be her; that it was my duty, as a friend, to entertain others who are as bored at work as I am. So, I will try to be as witty, saucey, and brainy as possible, but there are really no guarantees ;)

*Disclaimer: work is really not always boring. there are busy days and slow days, but blogging is a nice way to spend my lunch time.
