So, it looks like you have two choices:
Zero posts for periods that span days.
Or
More frequent posts that are super boring and basically about nothing at all.
For anyone who chooses to author a blog there is an understood obligation to post on a semi-regular basis (Stella), (John), (Felecia), and that, given my preponderance for multi-post days, the expected “semi-regular” interval for this particular blog is a lot shorter than “days.”
But, I am left with nothing interesting to post.
I had to manufacture an email conversation with Adina so I would have something, anything on Monday. That didn’t just happen. I left out the email I sent to Adina which contained the instruction:
“I am probably going to post this on the blog. Think funny.”
Ok, I lied. When I said funny conversations don’t “just happen” I was not being truthful.
Funny email conversations don’t just happen. But funny online conversations happened ALL THE DAMN TIME. (and you would know if JOHN ever updated his VERBATIM blog – or published that book of funny AIM conversations we’ve had like I keep telling him to – ahem.)
But, the chance of funny AIM conversations drops dramatically to ZERO when AIM is no longer allowed at your place of business.
And apparently the will to create fun and poignant posts shrivels up and dies with it.
The most interesting thing I have to write about is that the stupid guy from Northwestern pronounces “frustrating” as “fustrating”
THAT IS NO WAY TO KEEP YOUR ADORING AND FAITHFUL AUDIENCE HAPPY!!
If things go on like this I’m going to start belting out songs from Singing In The Rain just to see what kind of reaction I’ll get. And if that doesn’t work (KATE) then I’m just going to give up and switch to songs from Disney animated movies and see how many coworkers I can get to sing along.

Have you tried the new chatting feature through gmail? I don't know what that looks like. Perhaps it's easier to hide than AIM.
